<div dir="ltr">Hi Senthil,<div><br></div><div>Yes, please feel free to test this out. Here is our usage of this feature on the application side:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/AltraMayor/gatekeeper/blob/master/cps/rd.c">https://github.com/AltraMayor/gatekeeper/blob/master/cps/rd.c</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Our use case is that we are running a network application (DoS mitigation) using DPDK. As you may know, DPDK takes ownership of the NIC, so the kernel networking stack (including the routing table) is not available for use. Instead, we maintain our own routing table in the DPDK application and interact with bird directly.</div><div><br></div><div>I would also like to see it in bird, but don't have the time at the moment to propose it. If you (or anyone else) wants to take ownership of this feature and submit these patches, please do so!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Cody</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 6, 2021 at 1:53 AM Senthil Kumar Nagappan <<a href="mailto:sknagappan@yahoo.com">sknagappan@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div></div>
