Which is the case, both are on the same network.
It is not the case. As I mentioned earlier, the interface metric is used to select the best interface. However, both are always up. Incidentally, this results in a benefit of Linux over Windows. On my notebook computer, I have different IP addresses for Ethernet & WiFi interfaces. When I connect with Ethernet and WiFi is connected, I can reach my WiFi address from my home network, as well as the Ethernet address. This means no matter how I'm connected I can connect to the notebook with the same IP address/host name. However Wireshark shows the traffic going through the Ethernet port, even when the WiFi address is used. This does not work with Windows. Then I have to specify a different address, depending on whether I have an Ethernet connection.
In this same laptop, when running 42.3, and using the same IP for both interfaces, I get "martians" and failures. I have to manually disable one (the wifi). I don't know the metrics in that case, I'll find out. When running Leap 15.0, different IP for each, different metrics, but same network - they connect to the same exact router, they are in the same segment - things work, except traceroute. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E.
