Stephen Hemminger has already added TCP port randomization on connect() to the 2.6.x tree. See net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:tcp_v4_hash_connect(), where randomized port selection occurs. And unlike your patch, Stephen did add ipv6 support (via net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c:tcp_v6_hash_connect()) for port randomization as well.
I'd like to ask two things: 1) That you use netdev@oss.sgi.com for networking patches as that is where the networking developers listen. 2) That you do some checking to see that the feature you're adding is not already present in the tree. Thanks a lot. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
