You can evaluate the state of the link at the time you look at the route at all of the places where it matters as far as I can tell. It's so expensive to walk the entire routing table every time a link goes up and down, so it's much better to take an "evaluate as needed" approach to implementing this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
