Hello Andrew,
below is the requested information:

An external machine with 10.2.4.9 IP address is pinging the 10.2.5.2 (currently attached to the VE.)

The HW node has an IP of

eth1:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0C:7F:0E:D6
inet addr:10.2.4.124 Bcast:10.2.7.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1


From inside a VPS:
-bash-3.00# tcpdump -nni venet0

From inside the HN on venet0:
09:56:26.916456 IP 10.2.4.9 > 10.2.5.2: icmp 64: echo request seq 5
09:56:26.916533 IP 10.2.5.2 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo reply seq 5

09:56:29.919454 IP 10.2.5.2 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo reply seq 8

So now I tried to ping from inside the VE to the external machine:

-bash-3.00# ping 10.2.4.9
PING 10.2.4.9 (10.2.4.9) 56(84) bytes of data.

and at the same time on the HW node: (xx.xxx.x.27 is a public IP on the eth0 of the HW node)

tcpdump -nni venet0

09:58:55.591271 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 10
09:58:56.591045 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 11
09:58:57.590816 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 12
09:58:58.590591 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 13
09:58:59.590362 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 14
09:59:00.590136 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 15
09:59:01.589909 IP xx.xxx.x.27 > 10.2.4.9: icmp 64: echo request seq 16

So apparently, the VE uses eth0 as the outgoing interface? But pinging from the outside to the VE, seems to have worked and the VE knew which interface to use, but not the other way?

My understanding will be since the VE outgoing interface (if initiated from inside the VE) will be defaulted (bounded) to eth0 (packet header will have a source interface of eth0)? But if it's initiated from the outside, and the packet header has a source interface eth1, then the VE will used that source interface to return the echo back to the sender, is that correct?

Hope the information above helps.

Thanks.
