does it help if you run all the tests in a unique net namespace ?
i think our skel test framework should set up unique namespaces
all the time anyways to prevent inadvertent leakage, and to handle
issues like port collisions.
This is an interesting idea.
I don't see how I can set up interfaces in a network namespace as an
unprivileged user.
If we can create a loopback interface and get per-namespace tables, this
could be a solution. Even if these tables are very small, we could
discard them after each subtest.
Thanks,
Florian
