The packet fanout test generates UDP traffic and reads this with
a pair of packet sockets, testing the various fanout algorithms.
Avoid non-determinism from reading unrelated background traffic.
Fanout decisions are made before unrelated packets can be dropped with
a filter, so that is an insufficient strategy [*]. Run the packet
socket tests in a network namespace, similar to msg_zerocopy.
It it still good practice to install a filter on a packet socket
before accepting traffic. Because this is example code, demonstrate
that pattern. Open the socket initially bound to no protocol, install
a filter, and only then bind to ETH_P_IP.
Another source of non-determinism is hash collisions in FANOUT_HASH.
The hash function used to select a socket in the fanout group includes
the pseudorandom number hashrnd, which is not visible from userspace.
To work around this, the test tries to find a pair of UDP source ports
that do not collide. It gives up too soon (5 times, every 32 runs) and
output is confusing. Increase tries to 20 and revise the error msg.
[*] another approach would be to add a third socket to the fanout
group and direct all unexpected traffic here. This is possible
only when reimplementing methods like RR or HASH alongside this
extra catch-all bucket, using the BPF fanout method.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
