Hi all,
I followed "Using netem on one..." with interest and want to thank the
participants. I'd never come across those terms (strong host, weak
host, arp flux) before. Researching them broadened my networking
understanding tremendously.
The following link hit all the bases in your discussion:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/258810/
linux-source-routing-strong-end-system-model-strong-host-model
?answertab=votes#tab-top
My question has to do with cost between the models where cost refers to
time to route. Since the strong model seems to involve a lot more
decision making is there an appreciable difference in the time spent
routing versus the weak model or is the difference so small as to be
inconsequential?
Thanks again for the continuing education,
Mike Wright
