The linux routing table uses subnets. The routing cache entries, however are associated with single IP addresses.
As a result, the cache may have multiple entries belonging to the same subnet but corresponding to different IP addresses, having the same next hop IP address and out interface. What is the advantage gained by having a separate cache entry for each destination IP address? -- _______________________________________________ Search for products and services at: http://search.mail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
