Subject: Why linux keeps connected routes when link goes down
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:03:40 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200902190203.41497.homecreate@list.ru> (raw)
Hello!
Why kernel keeps connected routes when link is not in RUNNING state? It's not
only linux behavior, some other OSes do so, but why?
It's interesting for me because I have a problem with setting up Quagga for
OSPF support. When link goes down (!IFF_RUNNING), Quagga updates only its own
routing table. I must use ifplugd to update routes in kernel (actually to
delete connected route), but I think it is not a right way.
So the main question is: why linux keeps connected routes when link goes down?
PS: ``ip monitor'' reports about link fail after a minute or longer (on
8139too and 3c905x). On some Acorp cards it doesn't notice link failure. Is it
a bad driver or crappy cards? On r8169 I have no problems
