> [PATCH] [ROSE] rose AX25 packet routing improvement
> 
> FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
> routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
> knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.
> 
> Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
> looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
> a connect request to a neighbor node is received.
> 
> A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
> already established routes each time the system was looking for a
> route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
> address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
> through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.
> 
> The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
> request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
> Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
> was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.
> 
> Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
> improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.
