CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK

Hi, I know that the option CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK option was present in the
linux kernel configuration in the past... but how's things now? Has it been
renamed or removed?
What are the options you have to enable in order to be able to route packets
using the mark and iproute2 (ex. ip rule add fwmark <mark_id> table
<table_id>) ?

Thanks.

Since Linux 2.6.20, mark based routing has been enabled by default, thus
the related config options {DECNET,IP,IPV6}_ROUTE_FWMARK have been removed.

I guess you need at least IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER, IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES, and
anything which allows to mangle the packet mark such as the Netfilter
MARK target (NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MARK).
