Hi there, I am using AIX Version 4.3.3. When I see my routing table information via netstat -rn command, I have seen a entry of 'c' in one of the options, in manuals they say that 'c' is for cloned routes. Can someone explain to me what are cloned routes and why they are used? Thanks, Salman >From: "Sameer R.
