You can't just remove the table ID output just because you disagree
with
the semantics given by old kernels.
Current semantics are maintained. Kernel was hardcoded to return main;
iproute2 was hardcoded to not show main.
Since iproute2 always showed MAIN, it should conitnue to do so when
run on older kernels.
And again this is regardless of whether you disagree with those
semantics or not.
Dave:
ip does *not* show the table id or string today:
root@vm-wheezy2:~# ip route get 10.2.1.254
10.2.1.254 dev eth1 src 10.2.1.2
cache
With the new flag a AND kernel that supports it ip will only show the
table id IF it is not main:
root@vm-wheezy2:~# ./ip route get 10.0.0.20
10.0.0.20 dev eth0 src 10.0.0.2
cache
root@vm-wheezy2:~# ./ip route get 10.2.1.254
10.2.1.254 dev eth1 table 10 src 10.2.1.2
cache
That's my point. I have not changed existing users.
