Hi,

I've ideas about enhancing the routing architecture. Is it possible to
add to wiki?
- Source address selection option for destination route. (like: ip
route add 10.2.2.0/24 via 172.16.1.1 src 192.168.1.2). It's a very
useful feature for multihomed systems.
- Metric support for routing.

Thanks
Ozkan
