| IP dynamic address hack-port v0.03 | |
| ================================== | |
| This stuff allows diald ONESHOT connections to get established by | |
| dynamically changing packet source address (and socket's if local procs). | |
| It is implemented for TCP diald-box connections(1) and IP_MASQuerading(2). | |
| If enabled\ [#]_ and forwarding interface has changed: | |
| 1) Socket (and packet) source address is rewritten ON RETRANSMISSIONS | |
| while in SYN_SENT state (diald-box processes). | |
| 2) Out-bounded MASQueraded source address changes ON OUTPUT (when | |
| internal host does retransmission) until a packet from outside is | |
| received by the tunnel. | |
| This is specially helpful for auto dialup links (diald), where the | |
| ``actual`` outgoing address is unknown at the moment the link is | |
| going up. So, the *same* (local AND masqueraded) connections requests that | |
| bring the link up will be able to get established. | |
| .. [#] At boot, by default no address rewriting is attempted. | |
| To enable:: | |
| # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr | |
| To enable verbose mode:: | |
| # echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr | |
| To disable (default):: | |
| # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr | |
| Enjoy! | |
