This is the workflow with which my application uses the file rt_tables.
* The administrator of a system, after the install of the application
will be directed to modify (manually) the file rt_tables adding a
certain range of ID numbers reserved for its tasks.
E.g.
# Reserved for (MY_APP)
200 myapp_reserved_table_200
199 myapp_reserved_table_199
198 myapp_reserved_table_198
...
# END Reserved for (MY_APP)
* The application can alter the names for those tables by directly
altering the file rt_tables.
* The application issues 'ip' commands that involve the use of such
names.
E.g.
ip rule add table mytablename
ip route add 169.254.1.1 dev eth0 table mytablename
ip route add 10.0.0.16/28 via 169.254.1.1 dev eth0 table mytablename
