eth1 and ppp0, need to send UDP packets through ppp0


Hello,

My linux has eth0, and my program creates ppp0 connection through modem. I need to send UDP packets from my program so that they go through ppp0 not through eth0. How this can be done?

Thank you.

Most udp packets will go down ppp0..

The exceptions are broadcast packets and some multicast packets.
So long as the ppp0 connection is the default route, it should work ok.
Do route -n to read the routing table.

Thank you for your reply!

It was indeed a problem of routing.
