You absolutely do not get to determine this policy, none of us do. What matters is that by default the damn switch device being there is %100 transparent to the user. And the way to achieve that default is to do software routes as a fallback. I am not going to entertain changes of this nature which fail route loading by default just because we've exceeded a device's HW capacity to offload. I thought I was _really_ clear about this at netdev 0.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
