[LARTC] tables and mapping marked packets to realms

[LARTC] tables and mapping marked packets to realms

[Gregory]

<PRE>Looking at the HOWTO for iproute2 isee examples where they create a rule
and make a look up table (the John example). I have installed iproute2
but don't seem to have a:

/etc/rt_tables/ path.

Why?

I want to map marked packets(using iptables) to realms and all packets
within a realm to have the same route regardless of destination. 

What if two marked packets have the same destination ?

Thanks for any help

Greg.

Because you didn't make the directory and didn't put the example files
there. That's all there is to making one.

You can select policy rules based solely on marks, thereby disregarding
destination until a certain routing policy has been chosen. Two differently
marked packets with the same destination can still be routed differently.
