I'm wondering about the 'never' part. What if an application uses sendto() to communicate over UDP with multiple peers, and some of those peers happen to be located on a single remote host. How is the kernel supposed to keep track of those flows? Or does the application have to maintain flow-ids? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
