Please make the 'table-id' field to be at least
16 bits. Now that we have VLANs and other types of virtual
interfaces, it would be nice to be able to have a routing table
for each interface, for example. 640k was not enough for everyone,
and ~250 routing tables isn't either :)
From section 3.1.1:
Table ID: 8 bits
Table identifier. Up to 255 route tables are supported.
RT_TABLE_UNSPEC An unspecified routing table.
RT_TABLE_DEFAULT The default table.
RT_TABLE_MAIN The main table.
RT_TABLE_LOCAL The local table.
The user may assign arbitrary values between
RT_TABLE_UNSPEC(0) and RT_TABLE_DEFAULT(253).
Thanks,
Ben
