Currently, conntrack in the kernel has an undocumented feature referred to as NULL SNAT. Basically, when a source port collision is detected during the commit, the source port will be translated to an ephemeral port. If there is no collision, no SNAT is performed.
This patchset documents this behavior and adds a self-test to verify it's not changing.
