The flags D, G, H, and U are part of standard Solaris routing. The flags M and S are used for CGTP. The flags configure the way in which data is replicated, as follows:

  • If the flag M is set, the data is replicated through all routes that have the destination flag M.

  • If the flag S is set, and if the application did not provide a source address for the data to be sent to, the source address is set to the value specified in the route.
