How does it decide?
Currently it's based on interface type, AFAIK.
What does this mean?
Are you saying that ethernet is given preference over WiFi?
And how can I know which one is being used?
Looking at the routing table should be enough (ip route),
How?
"ip route" just tells me both interfaces are up,
not which one is being used.
Even "ifconfig", which gives the number of packets
passing through each interface,
is not completely conclusive.
ip route on my machine gives:
default via 192.168.4.1 dev wlan0 proto static
192.168.4.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.4.103
Which means wlan0 is the default route. Everything goes out that way.
