Yes, you are right, I should have paid closer attention to the output, however, what I replied still apply to RADIX_MPATH in general.
Now, when I first introduced RADIX_MPATH, to get the (not always even) general load balancing among interfaces attached to the same prefix, you only need to add the following additional host routes, as in: route add -host gateway-ip -interface igb0 route add -host gateway-ip -interface igb1 However, I just realized that strategy no longer work after the ARP entries are maintained separately from the general routing table. Let me think it through and try to come up with a patch. --Qing ________________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-...@freebsd.org [owner-freebsd-...@freebsd.org] on behalf of David DeSimone [f...@verio.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 4:14 PM To: freebsd-net@freebsd.org Subject: Re: [stable-9] Li, Qing <qing...@bluecoat.com> wrote: > > The route selection is based on a hash function of source-ip and > destination-ip when RADIX_MPATH is enabled.

Without an extra default route that is also pointing to igb1, I can't see how the system woudl ever forward traffic out igb1, unless it was directed to the local /25. -- David DeSimone == Network Admin == f...@verio.net "I don't like spinach, and I'm glad I don't, because if I liked it I'd eat it, and I just hate it." -- Clarence Darrow This email message is intended for the use of the person to whom it has been sent, and may contain information that is confidential or legally protected.
