Yeah, one needs to send a packet destined to the same machine out an
interface. That might need some trickery.

I remember some related trickery from a Project Zero blog post:
googleprojectzero.blogspot.de/2015/12/fireeye-exploitation-project-zeros.html

A BFD daemon using RAW sockets (neither UDP nor TCP) might not need
something like the above, similar to ping -I <Iface> -r <TargetIP>.

Thanks,
