:
At startup time the kernel configures the default RPDB consisting of three rules:
1. Priority: 0, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing table local (ID 255). The local table is a special routing table containing high priority control routes for local and broadcast addresses. Rule 0 is special. It cannot be deleted or overridden. 2. Priority: 32766, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing table main (ID 254). The main table is the normal routing table containing all non-policy routes. This rule may be deleted and/or overridden with other ones by the administrator. 3. Priority: 32767, Selector: match anything, Action: lookup routing table default (ID 253). The default table is empty. It is reserved for some post-processing if no previous default rules selected the packet. This rule may also be deleted. Each RPDB entry has additional attributes. F.e. each rule has a pointer to some routing table. NAT and masquerading rules have an attribute to select new IP address to translate/masquerade. Besides that, rules have some optional attributes, which routes have, namely realms. These values do not override those contained in the routing tables. They are only used if the route did not select any attributes.
Portanto, esses números, 0, 32766 e 32767 são a prioridade que as regras receberão.
OBSERVAÇÃO: Os outros números mencionados acima: 255, 254 e 253 correspondem às tabelas de roteamento, conforme descrito neste arquivo:
