What is a GSSAPI channel binding?

It's not clear to me what the abstraction of a GSSAPI channel binding
maps to on the level of a real protocol.  The intent is to prevent replay
of a data stream from another host, correct?  Isn't this redundant for
Kerberos, since the client address is in the authenticator?  If having
addresses in the authenticator is optional in other protocols, shouldn't
this be handled like the per-message QOP option?
