Here is one more patch for testing (with caution!). It adds possibility to turn off cache disabling (so it should even more resemble 2.6.28) after setting: rt_cache_rebuild_count = 0 I'd like you to try this patch: 1) together with the previous patch and "rt_cache_rebuild_count = 0" to check if there is still the difference wrt. 2.6.28; Btw., let me know which /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/* settings do you need to change and why 2) alone (without the previous patch) and "rt_cache_rebuild_count = 0" 3) if it's possible to try 2.6.30.1 without these patches, but with default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/* settings, and higher rt_cache_rebuild_count, e.g. 100; I'm interested if/how long it takes to trigger higher cpu load and the warning "... rebuilds is over limit, route caching disabled"; (Btw., I wonder why you didn't mention about these or maybe also other route caching warnings?)
