Hi there,

In trying to understand why route displays a metric of 32767 on Linux
2.1.29, I was looking thru the code in fib.c and found that it was being
set with MAGIC_METRIC. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the
motivation was behind using this and what exactly it's for...

Thanks,
Seth
