That's what I was talking about. It lists all used ports and selects
only ports, that are free on ipv4 and ipv6. For that reason it was "good
enough". But I already changed it for the next version of the patch.

According to the test description, the test is about testing, if the
kernel crashes, if a huge number of udp packets is RECEIVED. To me this
sounds like the receiver should be under test and the sender is just
some dummy. Of course both is tested here if it runs on the same system
with namespaces. What I still don't see is the benefit of changing
sender and receiver.
