LARTC - Apr 2004 - handle route table in kernel

Hi all,

How can I add or modify a route in the kernel? It seems ip_rt_ioctl() does the
job. I read the code but got one question.

A route is in a route table, so we have to find the table number (from 0 to 255)
first. ip_rt_ioctl() called fib_convert_rtentry() to fill the fields of the
req.rtm, such as the rtm_protocol, rtm_scope, rtm_type, etc. But where is
rtm_table is assigned value?

Or is there any other better method to change the routing table in the kernel?

Thanks,

LMN
