Hello,
I have set up the following route:
ip rule add prio 20 table test
ip route add default table test proto static \
nexthop dev eth0 via 80.98.79.254 weight 1 \
nexthop dev ppp0 via 62.112.192.134 weight 1
[root@roadrunner ~ ] # ip route get 195.228.120.3
195.228.120.3 via 62.112.192.134 dev ppp0 src 62.112.220.27
cache mtu 1454 advmss 1414
then I try to telnet to the ssh port of 195.228.120.3
In the meantime:
[root@roadrunner ~ ] # tcpdump -i ppp0 host 195.228.120.3
tcpdump: listening on ppp0
22:59:44.177458 80.98.79.17.35279 > 195.228.120.3.ssh: S
3019355410:3019355410(0) win 5656 <mss 1414,sackOK,timestamp 550913
0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) [tos 0x10]
[...repeated for 4 times...]
23:00:13.299255 195.228.120.3.ssh > 62.112.220.27.35251: P
2635459978:2635460026(48) ack 2627843263 win 15532 <nop,nop,timestamp 383251
514492> (DF)
23:00:29.174513 80.98.79.17.35279 > 195.228.120.3.ssh: S
3019355410:3019355410(0) win 5656 <mss 1414,sackOK,timestamp 555413
0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) [tos 0x10]
(Notice that the source address (80.98.79.17) belongs to eth0 not to ppp0)
At the same time I ran a tcpdump on the eth0 interface as well and it had
gotten no packets from 195.228.120.3 at all.
The packet that came at 23:00:13 is rather strange. I do not know, how did
it find out where should it send its packet back if my own packet''s
source
address was wrong.
(After I had repeated the operation several times, I was not able to catch
this packet again. It might had been a stale packet from a previous
connection, I don''t know.)
After all of this:
[root@roadrunner /stor/home/ggabor ] # ip route get 195.228.120.3
195.228.120.3 via 62.112.192.134 dev ppp0 src 62.112.220.27
cache mtu 1454 advmss 1414
Can this be a bug or did I make a mistake somewhere?
During the operation there had been no rules in iptables'' tables.
If a program tries to use eth0 with the same routing settings, there is no
problem.
thanks in advance
