No, the data structures for the routing lookups remain the same but there will be more than one way to fill them with data. You will only use one "filling algorithm" at a time, so you will need to select the one you want.

Extend the userspace interface for adding route entries with a boolean flag. You're using netlink right? If so, this should be trivial by simply adding a flags attribute if you don't have one already.

Not really. It's rather the tcp westwood vs tcp reno type of story. But I think we simply make this a runtime option to keep everybody happy.

Thanks, Marek
