Subject: Re: [PATCH] udp: port starting location not random

Nevermind, it depends on random being big enough. This shows that it
works with large enough random(). The hash I was getting from VXLAN
was too small...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(int ac, char **av) {
	int low, high, remaining;
	unsigned int rand;
	unsigned short first;
	
	low = atoi(av[1]);
	high = atoi(av[2]);
	remaining = (high - low) + 1;
	srandom(getpid());
	rand = (uint32_t) random();
	
	first = (((uint64_t)rand * remaining) >> 32) + low;

	printf("%d %d %u => %u\n", low, high, rand, first);
	return 0;
}
