It seems ip_route_connect is the way we have to access routing cache entries. In case of all locally generated packets I see that struct dst_entry is filled up with a lookup in routing cache. What about in case of forwarding packets ? I dont see any usage of routing cache mechanism to fill up the struct dst_entry. So it seems we directly check the fib_rules or fib table to fill the structure. If it is true then it would be very slow right ? Sorry if I am wrong about above findings. Do correct me if I am wrong about it ?
