    1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
      item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis 
      is used.
    
    RFC3542:
    6.7.  Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection
    
       This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the
       selection of the packet's outgoing interface.  This subsection
       summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic
       behavior.
    
       For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface
       is determined in the following order:
    
       1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
          item, the interface is used.
    
       2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky
          option, the interface is used.
