Subject: [PATCH 1/7] udp: Don't attempt to translate a 0.0.0.0 source address
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 10:21:09 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240221232115.1376333-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240221232115.1376333-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

If an incoming packet has a source address of 0.0.0.0 we translate that to
the gateway address.  This doesn't really make sense, because we have no
way to do a reverse translation for reply packets.

Certain UDP protocols do use an unspecified source address in some
circumstances (e.g. DHCP).  These generally either require no reply, a
multicast reply, or provide a suitable reply address by other means.

In none of those cases does translating it in passt/pasta make sense.  The
best we can really do here is just leave it as is.
