> I'd suggest to go with any kind of spelling of 'fibid', 'fib_id', > 'FIBid', or ... as that's what it is called these days. inside the kernel I'll be sticking with the rt_ prefix to reduce confusion. I think I'll go with the tableid name used in openBSD for compat reasons, and its succinct. however in the user visible portion I'm still lookig for a name for the utility.. (similar to nice, jail, chroot) looking for something that flows off the fingers nicely.. fib 1 ping 1.1.1.1 might work for me # # fib 1 sysctl net.my_fib 1 # # since I've never heard of it before I don't know how standard FIB is? setfib 1 (mumble) I think the contenders are: Base short version utility name ================================================================== instance (ala Juniper) inst? rtinst rtinst vrf (ala cisco) vrf, setvrf fib ala someone else fib, setfib and a late contender: routes 1 ping 1.1.1.1 (note plural)
