I have question about multipath routing. I am running a 2.6.7 kernel (gentoo). I have a route with three nexthops on the same interface. I see a different nexthop being picked for different destination addresses. All is fine. Now if one of the nexthop goes down (arp entry times out and arp request doesnt get a response), does it remove the nexthop from contention and only use the remaining two from this point on ? What about the flows for which this nexthop was chosen in the recent past. Would they move to a different nexthop ? Can anyone please point me to implementation details about how a nexthop is chosen and what is the algorithm used in case of multipath routes and how to fine-tune the behaviour. Thanks.
