2 * INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
3 * operating system. INET is implemented using the BSD Socket
4 * interface as the means of communication with the user level.
6 * The IP forwarding functionality.
8 * Version: $Id: ip_forward.c,v 1.48 2000/12/13 18:31:48 davem Exp $
13 * Many : Split from ip.c , see ip_input.c for
15 * Dave Gregorich : NULL ip_rt_put fix for multicast
17 * Jos Vos : Add call_out_firewall before sending,
18 * use output device for accounting.
19 * Jos Vos : Call forward firewall after routing
20 * (always use output device).
21 * Mike McLagan : Routing by source
