Subject: route/max_size sysctl in ipv4

Hi all :

Please see : http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt

I am looking at the code and it looks like since the route cache for
ipv4 was removed from the kernel, this sysctl parameter no longer
serves the same purpose. It does not look like it is even used in the
ipv4/route.c module. Is there an equivalent sysctl parameter limiting
the number of route entries in the kernel? Or is there now no
mechanism to limit the number of route entries?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks a lot in advance,
ani
