From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Paul Bolle Subject: Documentation: is there a reason to keep networking/policy-routing.txt Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:47:58 +0200 Message-ID: <1403707678.1960.60.camel@x220> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-doc@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org To: Randy Dunlap Return-path: Sender: linux-doc-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org 0) Documentation/networking/policy-routing.txt was added in v2.1.16. Since then it has only received spelling fixes. That shows. I'll list the issues I noticed below. Perhaps this file could be updated, and that might even be trivial to do. But is that file still relevant? And besides, why bother to keep documentation that appears to be unmaintained for 18 years now? 1) RT_CLASS_LOCAL, RT_CLASS_MAIN, and RT_CLASS_DEFAULT: should probably be RT_TABLE_LOCAL, etc. 2) RTP_ROUTE, RTP_NAT, RTP_MASQUERADE, RTP_DROP, RTP_REJECT, and RTP_PROHIBIT: cannot be found in the tree. 3) RTRF_LOG, and RTRF_VALVE: ditto. 4) It mentions an iproute command. I'm familiar with route and "ip route". Fedora doesn't ship an iproute command. Web searches for it are hard, but it appears to have shipped in (old releases of) Debian. 5) The "IMPORTANT NOTE" about CONFIG_IP_LOCAL_RT_POLICY is obsolete since v2.1.68. Paul Bolle
