Technically speaking, Foundry has never done flow based routing/forwarding, it has always been prefix based. :) <nitpick> The only time a Foundry box (well a routing box at any rate, not talking load balancers here) even installed forwarding entries in "more specific than prefix form" was when doing arp-resolved directly connected interfaces on older code. For example, if you did: interface ethernet1/1 ip address 1.2.0.1/16 And then did a port scan of 1.2.0.0/16, it would try to use a CAM entry for each directly connected /32 it resolved via arp, and Bad Things (tm) would happen. </nitpick> -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras at e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
