I applied Alexey's 2.5.71 rtcache fixes to 2.4.21 (changing "fl" to "key" in the scoring function), and now I see: 60.0065 seconds passed, avg forwarding rate: 135379.152 pps If reboot and don't fill the routing table: 60.0104 seconds passed, avg forwarding rate: 259027.200 pps This is with standard juno (pseudo-random sources). This is with CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES still on, too. I'll turn that off and do some profiles. The only weird thing I'm seeing while doing this is that the route cache table continues to grow slowly, and the pps slowly falls off over a few minutes. "ip route flush cache" restores performance again. I'll verify this is not happening in 2.5.
