[lwip-devel] [patch #9165] Allowing udp src port to be 0 in cases when we don't care about outgoing port

[Alex Moran]

Follow-up Comment #8, patch #9165 (project lwip):

I believe I realize why it's a bad idea. I was not considering that from a
successful udp_connect, you are assuming that communication to/from that
address:port are eligible. By using connect with port 0, you would not able to
send (with normal udp_send) to the remote IP, only receive. You would need to
use udp_sendto and specify a different port. For this reason, I can see why
it'd be a bad solution, although I do think the problem still exists. I
appreciate you all entertaining the idea.
