Typing the command:
% route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0
(... hang for a while ...)
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
Here, before the last line default
rule be printed, route just hang for while.
Isn't the route table cached somewhere?
I used to grep the result from route
to get the default
rule, to get the default gateway. Now, route
seems hang for a while in some machines.
/proc/net/route
.ip route
is also easier to parse.
