- I'd like to know how the lookups are done what an IP datagram is to be
- sent out on a machine.
-
- The datagram can be either for a station on one of the networks directly
- attached to the system, or for a remote device, thus requiring the use
- of a gateway.
-
- (following example has a 3 bits subnetting, netmask 0xFFFFFFE0)
- In the Unix routing table
-
- Destination Gateway Flags Refcnt Use Interface
- 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0
- default 192.70.106.62 UG 13 345643 en0
- 192.70.106.32 192.70.106.33 U 11 73981 en0
- 192.60.107.0 192.70.106.66 UG 0 0 en1
- 192.70.106.64 192.70.106.65 U 9 12345 en1
-
- So once the datagram arrives to the IP routing function, do the routes
- to the directly attached networks have some particular precedence
- (ie parsed first) or are they having exactly the same importance as
- other routes (ie those to a remote network, with the G flag).
