OK, I'll add a comment. This block of code came about when testing tftp on
the localhost interface. When using the RAW AF_INET API, the network stack
is still in play responding to incoming traffic based on open "ports".
Since it is raw (at the IP layer, no Ethernet) the network stack tells the
TFTP server that the port it responded to is closed. This causes the TFTP
transfer to be aborted. This block of code inspects the outgoing packet as
formulated by the u-boot network stack to determine the source port (that
the TFTP server will send packets back to) and opens a typical UDP socket
on that port, thus preventing the network stack from sending that ICMP
message claiming that the port has no bound socket.

I guess it is an error. I just thought of it as guidance to the sender.

Not sure what you're getting at here. You want local if you want to talk to
a local server (TFTP is what I tested with). You want non-local if you want
to talk over a real Ethernet interface to a different machine than the one
running sandbox.

Fake an ARP response. The u-boot network stack is sending an ARP request
(to find the MAC address to address the actual packet to) and requires an
ARP response to continue. Since this is the localhost interface, there is
no Etherent level traffic at all, so there is no way to send an ARP request
or to get a response. For this reason we fake the response to make the
u-boot network stack happy.
