I call it hot potato routing, and I define it as choosing a random interface other than the one through which the packet was received. I once brought some actual potatoes to my lecture, and we implemented hot potato routing; it turned out being a good introduction to the subject of packet drops. (I don't think we ever laughed so much during one of my lectures.) Next time, I'll do mashed potato routing. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
