Right, although I believe the flag should not only defer it but not flush at all. This would be the optimal solution for scripts which can do a ip ro flush cache as they know what they're doing. > By default it's better the flush immediately, because the old > behavior is totally unexpected. "I insert a rule and it dosn't > show up?", nobody expects that. It's a tough call, I'd favour immediate flush as well but I can see the point in delaying by ip_rt_min_delay which can be configured by the user. So people can choose to immediately flush by setting it to 0. It would also be consistent to the flush after route changes, the same delay is used there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
