Subject: struct fib_table

Hello all ,

In linux routing, two tables are maintained ( main_table and local_table ).
Can somebody explains what is the need for these two tables ?
Please give a detailed explanation.

Thanks a lot,
Vinolin.

The need for the tables is in userspace. Have a look here:

and related tarballs mentioned in CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES in
Configure.help I think.
