I agree with that. I think that is an historical mistake that socket becomes implicitly bound to all interfaces if a protocol is defined during create. Without this bind requirement would make sense. > > All type and dev are valid, even if an ETH_P_NONE fanout group would > be fairly useless. Fanout is all about RX, I think that refusing fanout for socket that will not receive any packet is OK. The condition can be: if (po->ifindex == -1 || !po->num) I realized another possible problem. We should consider adding ifindex Field to struct packet_fanout to be used for lookup of an existing match. There is little sense to bind sockets to different interfaces and then put them in the same fanout group.
