When the ipmr starts, it adds one default FIB rule that matches all packets and sends them to the DEFAULT (multicast) FIB table. A more complex rule can be added by user to specify that for a specific interface, a packet should be look up at either an arbitrary table or according to the l3mdev of the interface. For drivers willing to offload the ipmr logic into a hardware but don't want to offload all the FIB rules functionality, provide a function that can indicate whether the FIB rule is the default multicast rule, thus only one routing table is needed. This way, a driver can register to the FIB notification chain, get notifications about FIB rules added and trigger some kind of an internal abort mechanism when a non default rule is added by the user.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
