Hello all, I am testing IP_BINDANY functionality with a small C program. I can bind to a foreign (non existing) address, and syn packets are being sent with the bound source IP address and port. Return (ACK) packets are reaching the host (I can see the SYN-ACK packet in tcpdump), but the third packet in TCP handshake is not getting generated. It looks like the second SYN-ACK is not getting accepted by the kernel.
My test setup consists of 2 machines, one freebsd 8.2 where I am running my test program has an ip address of 192.168.3.83, and an echo server running in the second machine with ip address 192.168.3.18. The souce ip address of connection originating from my test program is 192.168.9.5 and echo server is having a route for 192.168.9.0/24 to 192.168.3.83. Since there is a route for 192.168.9.5 from 192.168.3.18 there is no need for any additional pf rules for redirecting and packets can be seen in tcpdump. Netstat gives the following output. The state remains SYN_SENT and the kernel is not able to "see" the SYN-ACK. tcp4 0 0 192.168.9.5.7 192.168.3.18.7 SYN_SENT tcpdump gives the following output (first 2 lines) 17:39:54.745332 00:40:f4:bd:3d:1c > 00:27:0e:26:d9:66, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 74: 192.168.9.5.7 > 192.168.3.18.7: Flags [S], seq 587594188, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 3,sackOK,TS val 92954112 ecr 0], length 0 17:39:54.745446 00:27:0e:26:d9:66 > 00:40:f4:bd:3d:1c, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 74: 192.168.3.18.7 > 192.168.9.5.7: Flags [S.], seq 399460822, ack 587594189, win 5792, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4341497 ecr 92954112,nop,wscale 7], length 0 arp -na (abbreviated) ?

I am running all programs as root, so I do have the privileges. I guess there are no sysctrl to be set. Any help to get this working is much appreciated. with regards, raj _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
