Hi Steve,

You have mentioned the listeners, but what about the ports used for the 
connection itself? isn't it correct that when the TOE stack accepts the 
rNFS connection request to port X - still a different port Y would be 
used for the connection itself ? but if the Linux TCP stack would have 
(say) iperf bind to port Y then you are again in troubles - am I missing 
anything here?

Or.
