Proposal: improved routing

[oskarirauta]

My problem is that my host system (OpenWrt) cannot reach container(s)/pod(s) properly and eventually I was able to fix this by changing the route.. route coming from cni is:

10.129.0.0/24 dev cni-podman0 proto kernel scope link src 10.129.0.1

I can fix this with following:

ip route del 10.129.0.0/24
ip route add 10.129.0.0/24 dev cni-podman0 proto kernel scope link via 10.129.0.1 src $LAN_IP

10.129.0.0/24 is my cni network subnet, and gw is 10.129.0.1

so I am wondering if we could have optional fields to route with via and src - netlink go module used already does support it.
I have requested this change also from containernetworking/plugins

Adding optional fields for src and via shouldn't be that difficult..

It turned out to be a firewalling issue.
