https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200379 --- Comment #13 from Alan Somers <asomers@FreeBSD.org> --- FIBs are used to have different routing policies for different kinds of traffic. In general, you can't correctly learn which fib you ought to use based on any feature of a received packet, because different applications can use different FIBs at the same time. One application can even use more than one FIB. I don't know much about SCTP, but I think that there should be a FIB per socket. That's what the socket API currently allows, and it makes intuitive sense. Would you ever want to have multiple paths of the same socket get routed out different interfaces or to different gateways? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
