Hi all,
I just spend some time on a tool with which I can generate ICMP
redirects at will. I found out a problem: I sent a ICMP redirect
to one of our machines (picard), and it worked. However the route
does not show up in /proc/net/route, and I cannot delete it with
route del ... The only solution was to send another ICMP redirect message
to reset things :)
I tried to understand the new routing code in route.c, but it looks
a bit complicated :) Oh this is on Linux 1.3.68.
Mike.
