Hi Jan, I have created a path against rtnet V0.9.2 that allows to route IP packets using the source and the destination IP address. It works fine in my application as I do not need the rtping command. This command is the only one that does not have the rt device as argument, thus it just picks the first entry that has the correct destination address. If rtping was changed, the whole stuff could be improved a little bit by using a better hash function for routing. Currently, only the destination address is used for the hash function. For having multiple devices with the same IP address on different devices, this means that it has to be looped through the list of route entries for this hash. A better approach could be to use a hash function that has source and destination address as input. However, with this approach it is not possible to do a "mixed" access i.e. routing with/without checking the source address.
There is a a define the enables the routing. However, this define is currently checked only in the route_output routine as this is the only real time-critical. It would be great to add this patch to the next version! Regards Mathias -- Mathias Koehrer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Viel oder wenig? Schnell oder langsam?
