Hi,
I have a fedora 10 installed on a computer. I noticed a delay in the activation of the routes during the startup process through network startup script.
Actually, I run a "ping -c 50 xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt > /var/log/startup.ping" (while xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt is a valid computer IP adress) just after the automatic startup execution of the script /etc/rc.d/init/network. The ping first start by answer several "Destination Host Unreachable". Then after about 25 fail, the ping gets reply from the host. A while the "route -n > /var/log/startup.route" command before the startup ping shows that whole routes are valid (ie : no difference after and before the pings).
Do you have an idea of the reason of this delay in the activation of the routes ?
