Hi Sean The documentation for struct inet_bind_bucket says: /* There are a few simple rules, which allow for local port reuse by * an application. In essence: * * 1) Sockets bound to different interfaces may share a local port. * Failing that, goto test 2. * 2) If all sockets have sk->sk_reuse set, and none of them are in * TCP_LISTEN state, the port may be shared. * Failing that, goto test 3. * 3) If all sockets are bound to a specific inet_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr local * address, and none of them are the same, the port may be * shared. * Failing this, the port cannot be shared. .. If I understand this correctly the suggestion in the RFC follows this scheme so the request to mimic TCP/IP stack seems to be fulfilled. If this breaks iWarp maybe we should forbid iWarp reusing the port (with a flag on the rdma_id without being able to change it).
