[LARTC] Src IP for outgoing packet with multiple defaults routes

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Hi:

Abstract: Linux connected to two different ISP. Outgoing packets seems to peek randomly it's source IP address, without regards to the router choosen.

Test bed:
1. Linux Red Hat 7.2 (fw1) with kernel 2.4.7-10, no patches, all netfilter and adv. routing options on.
2. One "internet" ethernet card that connect to a switch. The switch connect the two routers also.
3. Linux have two IP: 200.72.44.226 and 200.27.214.226.
4. ip route list show:
   200.72.44.224/27 dev eth0 scope link
   200.27.214.224/29 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 200.27.214.226
   default equalize 
           nexthop via 200.27.214.225 dev eth0 weight 1
           nexthop via 200.72.44.225  dev eth0 weight 3
6. No MASQ, no SNAT, no DNAT for packets locally generated.
6. Ethercap running in eth0.
5. Another Linux (ws1) also running ethercap over the wire between router 200.27.214.225 and the switch (via a hub). This machine have address 200.27.214.227.

What I see, after running ethercap at the same time (and for the same period) on both machines:
1. Ethercap on fw1 capture ~4.500 packets, on sw1 capture ~1.900 packets.
2. On sw1 ethercap show me only packets routed thru router 200.27.214.225. I check the destination mac address, and it definitly router 200.27.214.225.
3. But on sw1, I see outgoing packets having both source IP 200.27.214.226 and 200.72.44.226.

This is wrong. Packets with source IP 200.72.44.226 must not reach router 200.27.214.226. AFIK, an outgoing packet must have a source address in the same subnet that the router being used.

Ideas?
