When udp port 4791 is blocked, the udp port 4891 is used and vice versa.
Port 4891 is currently unassigned in the IANA registry. Do you intend
to request this? Strongly suggest that this not merge without such a
standard.

The whole idea looks to me like a hack, what will we do once the second
port blocked too? Will we introduce option to add more ports?
The second port is a backup. When the first port 4791 is blocked, the port
4891 will be used. At the same time,
some cleanup work will be done to make udp port 4791 work again. When 4891
is blocked, 4791 is used again.

It is like failover in bonding.:-)
Right, so why don't you use bonding for that?
Based on my test results, there is a performance loss with bonding compared with this  feature because the packets will pass bonding driver before directly pass to the real physical NIC driver.

So it is necessary to use this feature.
