So pick one at random. However its a pretty strange way to abuse IP.

Linux does not generate ip idents on DF frames. You can't fragment a DF frame anyway so the problem does not arrive. Frames without DF get assigned ip ids - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
