as a side-note: Some time back I realized that one can also - on the
active opener side - create two TCP connections with the same 5-tuple
going out over the same interface.

One simply needs to first create a connection with a socket that has
SO_BINDTODEV set that specifies the same interface as the default
route. The second socket (which doesn't uses SO_BINDTODEV) then can
end up using the same source-port, if the range of available ports has
been exhausted.
This makes for some interesting packet-traces! :)

This is because INET_MATCH in __inet_check_established only checks for
!(sk->sk_bound_dev_if). inet_hash_connect() probably would need info
of the route's outgoing interface (of the new socket) to decide
whether or not there is a match.

But even that wouldn't be failsafe as the routing could change later
on... So, I dropped the ball on that.

Not sure if it's a big deal or not...


Cheers,
Christoph
