Hi,
the following patch turns RANDOM_IP_ID into a sysctl tunable.
Last time I spoke with Jeffrey about it, the conclusion was that fully
random ip ids have too many problems on high-speed networks. I don't
think that making it a tunable really improves much, it would be better
to solve the fundamental problems and allowing it be become just a
default option.
I think your right that fundamental problems should be solved, but I
personal would like to have a tunable which
is per default inactive and can be changed at runtime without the need
to recompile the kernel.
I don't have enough understanding about the problems on high-speed
networks so I can't get a better solution for now.
best regards,
Gordon
