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. -- Arjun S R
