    Changing all these parameters will do nothing if you dont have 
appropriate routing rules that uses them as routing criteria parameters.

    Well .... yes, it's not completly unrelated, iptables really can 
'help' routing decisions with those things.

    iptables can be used to help routing decisions, but this is not the 
only way of doing it. You can have your source routing rules and get 
advanced routing without iptables rules, it's not required, but yes can 
be used sometimes. On pretty advanced routing situations, maybe iptables 
'helping' rules would be necessary, but advanced routing can be done 
without iptables.
