This endless route lookup miss message problem is reproducible without FLOWTABLE. The problem is with the multiple FIBs. I cannot reproduce this problem in my home network but the problem is easily seen at work.
The route lookup miss itself in multi-FIBs configuration may be normal depending on the actual system configuration. It's the flooding of RTM_MISS messages that is abnormal. For example, if the route to the DNS servers is not configured in all FIBs, then the RTM_MISS message will be generated when an userland application sends to an explicit IP address in a specific FIB. In any case, I can reproduce the issue consistently and just trying to get a few uninterrupted hours to get it done. --Qing ________________________________________ From: Alexander V.
