Hi all,
How can we create multiple sockets for multihomed-device ? I am using ubuntu 12.04 with 3 network interface cards install . Sockets are created for both incoming and outgoing traffic. Thanks for advance.

What does that have to with VLC?

I want to implement bandwidth aggregation with VLC. I want to download data from server over multiple networks interface simultaneously.

I still don't see the point. An INET/INET6 socket does not belong to an interface. it makes no difference whether the system is multihomed or not.

I have 3 network interface cards. I want to create 3 sockets for 3 interface cards ( 1 socket/ 1 interface card). And after that, I will use them to download data from server simultaneously. I think if I use multiple network interface cards simultaneously the bandwidth will increase.
