Ming-Ching, : Assuming if I have rules matching the same packet, the one chosen : is the lower preference value or the high ? : : For example : : # ip rule list : : .... : 100 from 192.168.1.0/24 lookup main : 200 from all fwmark 5 lookup first : ..... : : Packet is matching both rules, the one with priority/preference : 100 or 200 is selected ? The first matched rule in the routing policy database (RPDB) is the one chosen. Rules are traversed from 0 to 32767. If a route match is found for a given packet in a specified table, that route is used. If no match is found in a given table, the (sequential) traversal of the RPDB continues.
