High Speed Connector endpoint group file lacks the ability to specify a local bind to IP address.

We have a use case which will not allow the use of the default CPU IP address as the source IP for a TCP/IP connection. As it is now, the is no mechanism to specify an alternate binding address to use with High Speed Connector.
