Hi,

I sniffed around a bit in /proc/net/atalk_route. I thought that might help isolating the routing-issue I discovered:

I've two linux-boxes, tycho with three interfaces and leela with two. Leela's eth0 and tycho's eth0 are connected together. The respective atalkd.conf's look as follows:

[tycho]
ltalk0 -seed -phase 1 -net 125 -addr 125.1 -zone "Local"
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 100-120 -addr 100.1 -zone "Ether"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 130-140 -addr 130.1 -zone "Ether"

[leela]
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 100-120 -addr 101.1 -zone "Ether"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 150-160 -addr 150.1 -zone "Ether"

I found the following data (consolidated and decoded from hex by myself) in tycho's /proc/net/atalk_route:

Target Router Flags Dev
130.1 0.0 5 lo
150-160 101.1 3 eth0
130-140 130.1 1 eth1
100.1 0.0 5 lo
100-120 100.1 1 eth0
125.1 0.0 5 lo
125 125.1 1 ltalk0
0.0 0.0 5 lo

In leela respective:

Target Router Flags Dev
130-140 100.1 3 eth0
150.1 0.0 5 lo
150-160 150.1 1 eth1
101.1 0.0 5 lo
100-120 101.1 1 eth0
0.0 0.0 5 lo

Type 3 (remote?) routes only appear for EtherTalk but NOT for LocalTalk in leela. I think, tycho won't broadcast its ltalk0-route (net 125) with RTMP.
Is there anyone who can help track this down in source? Adrian? Alan?

:wq! PoC
