Hi Sergio,

   thanks for the reply, you are probably talking about the LWIP_HOOK_IP4_ROUTE
and this sounds like a "yes" to my first question! We do have to implement
our own stack per a customer requirement (even though it will be running on
top of a Linux OS, they have their reasons for that, but running a stack in
user space is something really odd). Nevertheless, your point about
resource usage for the routing algorithms is something I will bring up to
their attention, thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
Wendel
