The idea was to have a selective flush of route cache entries when a fib insert/delete happened. From what I remember you added another/ better solution. Just a list with route cache entries pointing to parent route. So yes this was obsoleted by your/our effort to avoid total flushing of the route cache. Unfinished work. According to http://bgpupdates.potaroo.net/instability/bgpupd.html (last in page) we currently flush the route cache 2.80 times per second. when using full Internet routing with Linux. Maybe we're forced to pick up this thread again someday. Cheers. --ro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
