        even if we conceptually separate routing table per interface,
        we'd need to look them up together (as one routing table) when
        we make outgoing connection.  I don't think it very useful to
        have per-interface routing table (I don't think there's big win).

        BSDs use weak host model, and they do not consider accepting packet
        from interface A for interface address on interface B "forwarding".
