When these other changes go in, is there any chance that
we can get support for more than 256 routing tables? That
can help make all of these virtual interfaces more useful
for some of us with strange routing fetishes :)
That requires a major netlink API change, we've discussed
this to death before :-)
From what I remember, a new message could be added with a 32-bit
or so routing table identifier. It should be backwards compatible since
and old version of IP would never create or access the routing tables > 0xFF,
and any newer version of 'ip' could use the new message format.
Any reason that wouldn't work with minimal fuss?
Thanks,
Ben
