Given the hostA is rather dumb and that we can only configure one default route, and that we have defaulted the route to B. In order for A to be able to access C's external network, we configure a U-turn route at B, ie the packet hop onto B and then re-forwarded on the same interface to C. Is this something commonly done ? Any issue with it ?
