On Host1
eth0: 192.168.1.102
wlan0: 192.168.1.103
On Host2, scp a file to Host1 via wlan0
# scp tmp.file 192.168.1.103:/tmp
But ifstat shows all traffic goes to eth0.
Why does kernel choose eth0 although I use wlan0's address?
Is this an intended behavior?

You have to be clever with routing rules, arp-filtering, and such
to ensure that works as you want.

Ah, right.
The arp cache on Host2 for .102 and .103 points to Host1's eth0.
Host2 # arp -a
chief-river-32.local (192.168.1.102) at 00:1c:c4:a4:33:9e [ether] on eth0
chief-river-32.local (192.168.1.103) at 00:1c:c4:a4:33:9e [ether] on eth0
Thanks,
