Hi We noticed that TCP outgoing sockets that are bound to enslaved devices by SO_BINDTODEVICE fail to connect, while they work when bound to vrf device instead. We noticed similar behavior on ICMP (i.e. ping -I vrf0 worked, while ping -I eth0 does not if eth0 is enslaved to vrf0). On the contrary, UDP outgoing sockets bound to enslaved devices worked as expected. We tested that on Linux 4.9.30-2 from Debian.
I found your patchset 'Support for sockets bound to enslaved device' ( http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg448040.html ), which seems to be related to the issue, but the description mentions services, i.e. listening sockets. Does the patchset (or some other one) fixes the issue also for outgoing sockets? -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
