How to edit routing table (rtnetlink)

FuerzaDelDios · #1 9th February 2007, 04:28 AM

Hi,

I am new to kernel programming.

Can someone please explain/ send link where i can understand how linux routing table can be edited i.e. add route, delete route, check whether a route is present or not.

I know that netlink, rtnetlink are used to interact with routing table, but i am still not very clear how things actually work.

Thanks in advance.

Man pages was the first place i looked for help. When I could not find a lead from there, I posted the problem here.

Thanks anyways.
