Re: [suse-programming-e] Multiple sessions from the same source port

The connect(2) function sets up the request on the client side.

precisely this is where my confusion is. IIRC, at the client side, the OS will associate the session as a port (src_port). As Greg has mentioned in another post, at least one of src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, or dst_port must be unique. Does this mean the OS can assign the same src_ip:src_port to several sessions? Because I use netstat when I'm opening sessions from my box (src) to remote servers (dst), each session is assigned a different src_port. Regards, Verdi -- GMX im TV ... Die Gedanken sind frei ...
