The directory ftp.inr.ac.ru:/ip-routing contains:



- iproute.c - "professional" routing table maintenance utility.



- rdisc.tar.gz - rdisc daemon, ported from Sun.

	STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL HOSTS.



- routing.tgz - original Mike McLagan's route by source patch.

		Currently it is obsolete.



- gated.dif-ss<NEWEST>.gz - gated-R3_6Alpha_2 fixes.

	        Look at README.gated



- mrouted-3.8.dif.gz - mrouted-3.8 fixes.



- rtmon.c - trivial debugging utility: reads and stores netlink.





NEWS for user.



- Policy based routing. Routing decisions are made on the basis

  not only of destination address, but also source address,

  TOS and incoming interface.

- Complete set of IP level control messages.

  Now Linux is the only OS in the world complying to RFC requirements.

  Great win 8)

- New interface addressing paradigm.

  Assignment of address ranges to interface,

  multiple prefixes etc. etc.

  Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover:

- You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore,

  it is done automatically.

- "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements.

  This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library.



NEWS for hacker.



- New destination cache. Flexible, robust and just beautiful.

- Network stack is reordered, simplified, optimized, a lot of bugs fixed.

  (well, and new bugs were introduced, but I haven't seen them yet 8))

  It is difficult to describe all the changes, look into source.



If you see this file, then this patch works 8)
