Hi,
I am newbie developing a routing application which needs three features;
1. if the fib lookup fails, my application needs to know about using preferably netlink, -- any direction to some sample code or files in the kernel???
2. I need a counter recording the hits a fib entry is chosen for packet forwarding. Is it the function fn_trie_lookup in file /net/ipv4/fib_trie.c i need to modify and look into? -- ?? and therefore is it safe to add a int counter in fib_node w/o breaking the build??
2. need to read the entire fib, i.e dump the fib to the user space, -- again any direction to some sample code etc.. i have seen a fn in /source/net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c , which looks like is supposed to dump the routes but not sure how to use it..
line no.581 int inet_dump_fib(struct sk_buff *skb, struct netlink_callback *cb) Also; fn_trie_dump() in /net/ipv4/fib_trie.c
This could be an inappropriate list for the above questions, if it is request for some direction on the appropriate mailing list
Appreciate any help.
