Routing table and routing cache

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The linux routing table uses subnets. The routing cache entries, however are associated with single IP addresses.

As a result, the cache may have multiple entries belonging to the same subnet but corresponding to different IP addresses, having the same next hop IP address and out interface.

What is the advantage gained by having a separate cache entry for each destination IP address?
