I was ashamed of myself for much confused. My simple story is:

	rt1 ---- rt2 ---- mybox

rt1 is far from rt2 and when I changed bandwith between rt1 and rt2,
I want to confirm if it was changed correctly. A idea occured to me
is using lsrr. Then I tried with nc but it was not worked. To accept
packet from rt2 to mybox which src and dst address are mybox, I
changed:

--- net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c.orig	2007-07-23 00:01:17.000000000 +0900
+++ net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c	2007-07-23 00:03:11.000000000 +0900
@@ -206,7 +206,7 @@

 	if (fib_lookup(&fl, &res))
 		goto last_resort;
-	if (res.type != RTN_UNICAST)
+	if (res.type != RTN_UNICAST && likely(res.type != RTN_LOCAL))
 		goto e_inval_res;
 	*spec_dst = FIB_RES_PREFSRC(res);
 	fib_combine_itag(itag, &res);

Would you tell me is this acceptable? I'm afraid of security issue.
thanks,
