Hey all,

I need some help here ...

I am running alpine linux 2.6.4 64bits

3.10.10-1-grsec #2-Alpine SMP Tue Sep 3 07:05:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 Linux
ip utility, iproute2-ss130430

The command
ip route show cache
show no caches at ALL ...

Is it just me ?
Did something got changed in the kernel or utils ???

Do I need to adjust some kerne vars ???

Regards,
Harry

Kernel changed. The routing cache was removed from linux kernel, thus
no cached routes exists anymore there.

You can still check what would be the used data via
 ip route get <ip-to-target>

And it looks like cached route - but is calculated on demand.

Thank's Timo ...

That's bad news ...
This explains the problem in udp ( ie openvpn udp mode ) connections and 
multihome  setups  :-(

You still have netfilter's connection tracking cache that is udp/tcp
flow based. Any iptables rules you use to do per-flow type of things,
will still work.
