  • Yeah - I mean it’s technically “not ideal” but I simply don’t have any issues. I did have a windows computer that once complained about there being two devices on the network with the same IP but it didn’t stop it from working with it. I think that was some security software installed on that system though. This is the “less than ideal” part - it will look a bit suspicious if you have any security software that scans network traffic because “arp poisoning” is a common attack (basically stealing an IP address).


  • Metric seems to cause Linux to mostly arp reply on one interface. Not a lot of switching. I can even plug in an Ethernet cable during a network transfer to speed it up.

    Linux treats ips as assigned to the host,so any interface can respond for packets sent to another interface (even if they have different ip addresses).

    There is some network weirdness that a security scanner might complain about, but it “works”.
