Feature request: add src-address to netwatch

Hi,

Just a small feature request: allow netwatch command to specify src-address. That way I will be able monitor if my loopback address is routable from the rest of network, and restart the ospf instance if needed.

Re: Only getting 100 Mbps per user from a 200 Mbps link

OK. Tests done. I still get 100 Mbps from a single PC (note that it is a single PC, not a single connection). The PC is connected directly to a 1Gbps port in the RB2011, to avoid noise from switches and stuff.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I double checked the port status, autonegotiation and all that stuff and they are OK. 1Gbps full duplex, no errors... everything looks fine.
