When bound to a local address the kernel does not know if the socket will listen() or connect() and must reserve a port inmediately after bind() effectively limiting the random port range to ~32k. when IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT is set, the kernel delays source port allocation until the time the complete 4-tuple is known allowing a much larger number of combinations

Thanks for this! I relocated and made the code more portable. |
ok, I noticed the code already needs c99 so i didnt bothered with the c89 version. |
