Enhanced networked reliability on multihomed hosts On interfaces with a route that is already present on another interface, the NetworkManager utility now automatically switches the reverse path filtering method from `Strict` to `Loose`. This enhances network reliability on multihomed host machines.

Description Lubomir Rintel 2016-11-11 18:26:08 UTC
In a situation where user user enables an address from a range he's using on different interface already on a higher-priority interface, rp_filter drops traffic from the original interface.

That causes the existing connections to time out.

A typical scenario is user with a router, that bridges wired LAN and WLAN plugging in a cable while he's already connected to a WLAN.

We need to figure out what to do about this.

One possibility is relaxing rp_filter on Workstation (from =1 to =2). Another would be dynamically changing the rp_filter if we detect the aforementioned situation.

Currently the rp_filter=1 is enabled by systemd's sysctl.conf.d
