allow for connection load balancing across interfaces. Currently
the address alias handling method is colliding with the ECMP code.
For example, when two interfaces are configured on the same prefix,
only one prefix route is installed. So connection load balancing
among the available interfaces is not possible.
The other advantage of ECMP is for failover. The issue with the
current code, is that the interface link-state is not reflected
in the route entry. For example, if there are two interfaces on
the same prefix, the cable on one interface is unplugged, new and
existing connections should switch over to the other interface.
This is not done today and packets go into a black hole.
Also, there is a small bug in the kernel where deleting ECMP routes
in the userland will always return an error even though the command
is successfully executed.

(ECMP) for both IPv4 and IPv6. Previously, multipath route insertion
is disallowed. For example,
route add -net 192.103.54.0/24 10.9.44.1
route add -net 192.103.54.0/24 10.9.44.2
The second route insertion will trigger an error message of
"add net 192.103.54.0/24: gateway 10.2.5.2: route already in table"
Multiple default routes can also be inserted. Here is the netstat
output:
default 10.2.5.1 UGS 0 3074 bge0 =>
default 10.2.5.2 UGS 0 0 bge0
When multipath routes exist, the "route delete" command requires
a specific gateway to be specified or else an error message would
be displayed. For example,
route delete default
would fail and trigger the following error message:
"route: writing to routing socket: No such process"
"delete net default: not in table"
On the other hand,
route delete default 10.2.5.2
would be successful: "delete net default: gateway 10.2.5.2"
One does not have to specify a gateway if there is only a single
route for a particular destination.
I need to perform more testings on address aliases and multiple
interfaces that have the same IP prefixes. This patch as it
stands today is not yet ready for prime time. Therefore, the ECMP
code fragments are fully guarded by the RADIX_MPATH macro.
Include the "options RADIX_MPATH" in the kernel configuration
to enable this feature.

This caused a panic in rtfreee() called with a root node from the
routing socket code (when processing a RTM_GET message looking for
the default route while there is none).
Since no existing code seems to have any use getting the root node
from rn_match(), it seems cleaner never to return it rather than
check for this condition at the caller's.

able to expand the zeros, ones etc masks on the fly. It seems a good
number of domains don't set the rn_maxkey variable anyway, and because
this is a domain itself, there is no guarantee we've been called after
a protocol that actually has set it (ie: inet), so start with a maxkey
of a relatively sane size as a base point until it can adapt on the fly.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
