https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202038 Bug ID: 202038 Summary: source address based routing without pf or ipfw Product: Base System Version: 10.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: n+freebsd@nirf.de It is currently not possible to do source address based routing without firewalls such as pf or ipfw. I think that in typical multihoming scenarios (i.e. mobile devices) it doesn't make sense to have a static firewall configuration file or have some daemon dynamically mess with my firewall rules. I suggest making it possible to configure one routing table per address instead of only one per interface with ifconfig. This probably would make automatic multihoming configuration with RA or DHCPv6 easy to implement. Linux solves this problem the same way. For Multipath TCP, proper multihoming support will become necessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
