FIB attached export.

what's it all about? say one does this: set int ip table Gig0 2 set int ip addr Gig0 10.0.0.1/24 Ggi0 is in table 2 with a connected address. Now we add a routing matching said connected in a different table ip route add table 3 10.0.0.0/24 via Gig0 How do we expect traffic in table 3 to be forwarded? Clearly out of Ggi0. It's an attached route, hence we are saying that we can ARP for hosts in the attached subnet. and we can. but any ARP entries we send we be received on Gig0, but since Gig0 is in table 2, it will install the adj-fins in table 2. So traffic in table 3 will never hit an adj-fib and hence always the glean, and so thus be effectively dropped. How do we fix this? Attached Export !! All more specfiic entries in table 2 that track and are covered by the connected are automatically exported into table 3. Now table 3 also has adj-fibs (and the local) so traffic to hosts is restored.
