I have made it against net-2.6.24 tree. Can you please review and let me know? There have been a few minor changes since rev1. Original Message: According to the RFC 4292 (IP Forwarding Table MIB) there is a need for an age entry for all the routes in therouting table. The entry in the RFC is inetCidrRouteAge and oid is inetCidrRouteAge.1.10. Many snmp application require this age entry. So iam adding the age field in the routing table for ipv4 and ipv6 and providing the interface for this value netlink. Signed-off-by: Varun Chandramohan ---
