Reading SUS v2 and v3, both say:
    If the initiating socket is not connection-mode, then connect()    sets the socket's peer address, but no
connectionis made. For    SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the peer address identifies where all datagrams    are sent on subsequent
send()calls, and limits the remote sender    for subsequent recv() calls.
 


So it looks good to me.

I do wonder why nobody had a problem with this before however.
