Subject: Regarding Routing table in Linux kernel

Hi,

I have few doubts regarding the routing table in linux kernel.

1. Why does the linux kernel use hashing table for storing routing
entries when there is patricia trie or radix tree which is more faster
than Hash table ?

2. Is there any way we can test the performance of an routing
algorithm before deploying in a real time scenario to check its
performance ? I would like to test one of my implementations to check
if there are any performance gains or not ?

Regards,
Ajith
