Subject: TCP over lo
Date: Mon, 03 May 2010 16:00:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BDF2B70.2040301@oracle.com> (raw)
I've got a bug report about attempting to mount a remote NFSv4 server
while the client's lo interface is down.
Apparently a TCP connection attempt over lo when it is DOWN results in
ETIMEDOUT. If I attempt a TCP connect on eth0 when it is DOWN I get
ENETUNREACH.
Is this behavior difference by design? Is there some other information
I'm missing? Just wondering how to go about addressing the issue.
Thanks in advance for advice.
