Hi,
I would like implement RFC 6506 in linux kernel. It seems no one has
implemented it.

Its mainly about Transport protocol port randomisation. The fixed
order[sequence of predictable randomness] of allocation of ephemeral
port to application on request can cause malicious users to hijack
connections based on time spent by the tcp ip api in various states.

I have read the standards and is willing to go forward. Please post comments.
