Description:
==========
Is it possible for an RTclient hosted on a node with multiple NICs to select the NIC it uses to initiate a connection to another RTprocess?

Environment:
===========
All

Resolution:
=========
If a node has more than one NIC there is no way to instruct an RTclient which NIC to use when initiating a connection to another RTprocess (either RTserver or RTclient). The RTclient will use whatever the OS provides the client by default which is usually eth0.

Keywords/Tags:
