tinc - Aug 2017 - What if two tinc daemons received the same Subnet but with different weight?

Two tinc networks/daemons, and received same subnet from the two daemons, how
tinc will choose which one is preferred? And the weight settings in each daemon
for subnet will or will not be the judge?

If you use weights for Subnets, then the Subnet with the lowest weight
will be chosen, unless the node that owns that Subnet is offline, in
which case the Subnet with the next lowest weight is chosen.

If there are two completely identical Subnets, then it's currently
undefined what happens (in practice it will choose the one with the
lowest name alphabetically, but don't rely on that).

Hi, Guus

I referre to the two separate tinc process/network(received same subnet),
not Sunbet selection within one tinc process/network.

My understanding is if different tinc process comes with exact subnet, as
they are not related with each other(they have no idea regarding weights
with each other), I guess the routing depends on the host's main routing
table, for specific route it depends on which tinc interface as the
"Via"
to determine this?
