[LARTC] [RFC] Controlling the auto-route setting behaviour of the kernel

Hello!

I implemented a patch to control the behaviour of the kernel when setting routes
automatically when adding a new network address.

You can select the types of routes you want to be set automatically.

This enables the user - as an example - to set all routes in the local table
automatically, but leave the main table untouched. (This is the special case I
needed.)
If you want you can disable it completly by writing 0 to
 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_autoroute.

I would like to see this in the kernel, but nobody on the netdev mailing list
seems to care. Any comments or ideas about this? Stephen?


Regards
 Sven
