Hi,

I m currently working on ICMP redirect and i read in "TCP/IP
Illustrated Vol 1 - The protocols", by W Richard Stevens, that 4.4BSD
acting as a router checks if "the route being used for outgoing
datagram must have been ..., and must not be the router's default
route" (page 123).

My questions are:
 - Why the route being used for outgoing datagram can't
   be the router's default route ?

 - Is it the same behavor on System V ?

Thanks and regards,

Antoine
