Choose random source port for reflector connection #10

Closed K2IE closed 5 years ago

K2IE commented 5 years ago

sgs currently uses ports 30001 and 30051 as sourced ports to connect to DExtra and DCS reflectors respectively. This prevents running sgs on the same host as a reflector.

Jun 05 15:59:53 myhost.net sgs[30373]: Cannot bind the UDP address (port: 30001), err: Address already in use

There is no need for sgs to use these ports as source ports and many good reasons to pick a random unused source port. I tested a randomized source port routine and discussed with Colby prior to the IPv6 push, but having reinstalled sgs on a new host running a reflector this issue has re-emerged. As a temporary fix I am binding the source port to 31001, but will now look at reintegrating the random source port routine into the current code.

Available in the unstable branch now. This will be merged with master soon.
