But why is this relevant for policy-routing? The kernel sees: the local
packet has source-ip e.g. 192.168.0.2, then he looks at the rules...
rules say sth like: "from 192.168.0.2 table 20", and table 20 says route
through eth2
or the source-ip is 192.168.0.3... rules say "from 192.168.0.3 table
30", table 30 says route through eth3

So where´s the difference between TCP and UDP here? am I missing sth?
