I'd like to know how the lookups are done what an IP datagram is to be sent out on a machine. The datagram can be either for a station on one of the networks directly attached to the system, or for a remote device, thus requiring the use of a gateway. (following example has a 3 bits subnetting, netmask 0xFFFFFFE0) In the Unix routing table Destination Gateway Flags Refcnt Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 default 192.70.106.62 UG 13 345643 en0 192.70.106.32 192.70.106.33 U 11 73981 en0 192.60.107.0 192.70.106.66 UG 0 0 en1 192.70.106.64 192.70.106.65 U 9 12345 en1 So once the datagram arrives to the IP routing function, do the routes to the directly attached networks have some particular precedence (ie parsed first) or are they having exactly the same importance as other routes (ie those to a remote network, with the G flag). -- Christophe Wolfhugel | Email: Christophe.Wolfhugel@grasp.insa-lyon.fr "Pour le bien-etre de tous, il est interdit de pisser dans le metro."
