Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: <7E84642C.2E2C0BDD.9513E96F@netscape.net> X-Mailer: Franklin Webmailer 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, My understanding of the routing table updation by the routing command is like this. Any user requests to add or delete a route is stored in the rt_msghdr structure & written to the routing socket. The route_output() of the kernel does the updation by calling appropriate functions. It also sends the same message to all processes that have open a routing socket for listening. Is my understanding correct? Kindly mail me if anything that i have said is incorrect. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
