Thanks for your advice. But it is not the way :( This feature( of sending packets with source of 127.x subnet ) will be used in other software and I would not like to modify it so deeply. But I have already found a workaround - the source address checking takes palce in route.c in __mkroute_output() function by if (ipv4_is_loopback(fl->fl4_src) && !(dev_out->flags&IFF_LOOPBACK)) return -EINVAL; I'll try to comment it and test ping's behaviour but I can do that only tomorrow. 2009/4/26 Satish Chandra Kilaru <iam.kilaru@xxxxxxxxx>: > Try modifying ping source code.
