Hi,
proc interface to sysctl is unable to handle acces to interfaces
parameters that are configured by when you have a lot of interfaces, only
"all" + "default" + 133 first interfaces or something like that are
accessible via /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/.
Via sysctl() syscall these seemed to work fine when I last checked. I
sometimies keep wondering why each kernel function including this is
accessible via two different interface. =)
Brief demo example on procfs sysctl interface with tunnels follows.
Altough if one loads for example ipv6 module after executing the script
below, the ipv6 module is not able to register to proc-filesystem.
I've tested this against RedHat kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.20pre3.
--- tunnel.pl ---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$i = 1;
while($i < 200) {
$cmd = "/sbin/ip tunnel add sit$i remote 192.168.1.$i local 192.168.1.2 dev eth0 mode ipip";
print $cmd."\n";
system($cmd);
$cmd="/sbin/ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev sit$i";
print $cmd."\n";
system($cmd);
$cmd="/sbin/ip link set sit$i up";
print $cmd."\n";
system($cmd);
$i++;
}
