Below is the complete tcpdump output I had for each of the above setup,
just provide more evidence here since a lot of people don't trust me.

(Don't get me wrong, it is obviously my fault of not being able to gain
trust).

I didn't include them because the patch description is already very
long. I am happy to add them to the patch description on request.

Please let me know if I miss anything here. I am very very open to
continue iterating this patch.

Thanks!
