Using a simple global array to be the list of
addresses and pointers,
full load time went from about 3ms to 15ms. But it works just fine and
the lookups are so fast the microsecond timer registers zero.
Great! I would think that the gain in efficiency of the routing more than
offsets the extra processing for setup. You could consider making it multithreaded
but I don't think anyone would notice an occasional 15ms delay and/or some drops.
On our radio network such behaviour is quite normal.
Another possibility would be to first scan for the "common case" of all subnets
and gateways remaining the same but only the endpoint address of one or two
gateways changing, and in that case omit the entire table setup and only patch the
nexthop addresses of those gateways.
