[PATCH v3 net 3/7] tcp: resalt the secret every 10 seconds

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Mon May 02 2022 - 04:46:50 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

In order to limit the ability for an observer to recognize the source
ports sequence used to contact a set of destinations, we should
periodically shuffle the secret. 10 seconds looks effective enough
without causing particular issues.
