Hi,
I am so interested to tune the kernel forwarding path.
My questions are,
Is it possible, to expose some API to user space to manipulate the routing table (Ex: add equal cost /unequal cost routes for load balancing?
Is it possible, to change the routing flow ( i want to add some custom module before route look up) and expose some API to user space?
Is it possible , to influence the routing look up mechanism?
I am not able to find the good docuements for this.
can some one share some good tutorial /link?
Thanks
suresh
