Besides that a ten node cluster is likely to break the 64k message size limit, even after compression... You probably should re-organize the code so that you only have one receiving ucast socket per nic/ip/port. But I think that a single UDP packet will be delivered to a single socket, even though you have 18 receiving sockets bound to the same port (possible because of SO_REUSEPORT, only). If we, as I think we do, receive on just one of them, where which one is determined by the kernel, not us, your suggested ingress filter on "expected" source IP would break communications. Do you have evidence for the assumption that you receive incoming packets on all sockets, and not on just one of them? -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com _______________________________________________________ Linux-HA-Dev: Linux-HA-Dev@lists.linux-ha.org http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha-dev Home Page: http://linux-ha.org/
