It is not maintained. There is no issue with iproute. >like this I get 10k routes >#cat /proc/net/ipv6_route | wc -l >10015 It is correct - it dumps routes (for some definition of "route"), in particular all FIB entries. You will find the same for IPv4 in /proc/net/rt_cache on kernels where the cache has not already been removed. That said /proc/net only shows table 254, so the whole procfs business is pretty useless. Just use iproute2, really. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
