- xorcist 8y agoThis is a core feature in TCP/IP. Only the endpoints actually involved in the connection care about what a "connection" really is. If they share a connection, it should be nobody else's business that they do.
- mehrdadn 8y agoThis is definitely not true in this world which is filled with NATs everywhere. The intermediate routers very much care and must care about what connections exist.
