Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing node-ssh's connection setup and how socket options are passed to the underlying SSH connection, then check whether a localAddress option is supported. Done means establishing whether binding to a selected local interface or IP can be exposed and specifying the expected usage or limitation.
