maybe, but it would be a large surprise to everyone who expects that
structure be be called the routing table as it still is in most systems.
In OpenBSD they have decided to call the in-kernel decriptor 'id' but I'd
rather go with tableid or maybe tbl_num, because 'id' is too generic.
'tid' is already thread id.
