hi all, can anyone just lemme know what this function does in linux 2.4.6 register_netdevice_notifier(&fib_netdev_notifier); register_inetaddr_notifier(&fib_inetaddr_notifier); we have 2 functions to put entries into the fib table (routing table in linux) 1.ip_rt_ioctl 2.fib_magic why do we have 2 functions n what is thier significance???? >From what i have seen is that fib_magic intialises the local table entries during start up & ioctl call is called when we manually add route from the command line.. Just want to know whether this is correct.. Thanks & Regards Lakshmi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
