Re: [mpls-linux-general] Complinig modified Routing table

[Abhijit G. <gab...@ee...>]

If you are making any changes to fib_frontend.c make sure you are doing
right things, 'cos as u urself would have observed, FIB implementation in
kernel is not straight forward, you will have to handle all the files
fib_rules, fib_semantics, fib_hash (I might have forgotten a couple of
flies.)

Again I would like to ask is it really needed to add anything to routing
table implementation? If you believe there is no other way go ahead with
what u think needs to be implemented. I suggest to spend some time with
the complete fib implementation (its not just fib_forntend).

I started with writting abt fib_commentry some time back but didnt finish
it. (whatever i understood)

And the answer to the question you have asked is "YES". You will have to
make the whole thing again. And boot into newly compiled kernel.
