How is this useful for us?
As applications are able to bind on the given address, it is possible that no interfaces have yet obtained the IP address. In that case, it is desirable to start up the daemon anyway, so that it can startup with the routing in parallel without crashing (as bind
will fail), or without synchronizing the application to startup after it. IP_FREEBIND
has been developed just for that case.
