+ Opens the TCP socket, and binds it to the specified local address.
+ This method is generally not needed, and only used to force the subsequent call to [method connect_to_host] to use the specified [code]host[/code] and [code]port[/code] as source address. This can be desired in some NAT punchthrough techniques, or when forcing the source network interface.

- Disables Nagle's algorithm to improve latency for small packets.
- [b]Note:[/b] For applications that send large packets or need to transfer a lot of data, this can decrease the total available bandwidth.

+ [b]Note:[/b] It's recommended to leave this disabled for applications that send large packets or need to transfer a lot of data, as enabling this can decrease the total available bandwidth.
