Hello, What is the right way to determine on which interface card (eth0 or eth1) will a packet be sent (according to the dest IP)?
I have a machine with two NICS (eth0 and eth1). I have 2 different gateways. I need to know on which interface (eth0 or eth1) will the packet be send according to the dest IP. I want to do in in a User Space function. I think of one way to do this is: Parse the routing table (/proc/net/route) as is done in net-tools. (to be more specific rprint_fib() in lib/inet_gr.c of net-tools. Than according to the IP address and the netmask check if the dest IP is for one gatway or the second. If not - than it is the default gateway. Is there another way ? Is it the correct way ?
