[TriLUG] some TCP utilities ignore kernel routing table?

[Shane O'Donnell]

Also, you might verify the problem by using both ping (as provided by
OS) and fping (as provided by http://www.fping.com/).  It seems that
one relied on the kernel's cache and one didn't.

You're getting into some murky areas here--areas that a networking
class would likely not help too much (assuming you know the basics
about how ping/ICMP work...)
