Linux kernel will quite happily support multiple network interfaces and
will not enable communications between hosts on separate networks
without you doing something to enable it.

Some Linux distributions may change this kernel default as part of their
start up scripts.

There is some minutia about which address A uses when talking to B, be
it AB or BC.  But this minutia shouldn't impact what you are doing.

Comparing the Linux TCP/IP stack to a Microsoft TCP/IP stack, especially
one 20+ years old, is disingenuous.  It's sort of like saying that
anything faster than 10 Mbps Ethernet connections is cost prohibitive
and outside the reach of anything but servers.
