hi, I am not sure whether it is the right mailing list to post my query I am implementing the Address Resolution part of routing library in my network subsystem. I am trying to understand the implementation of the Address Resolution Logic of FreeBSD. I have specific query to one of the data structure of the rtentry and mrtentry my problem is: There is a field " refcount" in the route entry. As per my understanding, this field is there,to prevent some Application layer task from deleting that particular route entry when someother application, IP has already accessed that route entry and using it. The Query is: Does this refcount serve anyother purpose ! Can you do without this "refcount" field ? by providing a copy of rtentry or mrtentry, whoever calls rn_match(). thanks in advance. vyas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
