[ofa-general] ***SPAM*** some problem about the forward tables in up*/down* algorithm

Recently I have read the source code of the up*/down* routing algorithm. It
seems that this algorithm only updates the
hops[lid_no][port], does  not update the lft (linear forward tables). So ,
how does the switch forward the packet ? Does the switch look up the
hops[lid_no][port] to forward the packet?
Another problem is that there are two arrays , lft and new_lft. I don't know
the difference between these two tables, can anyone tell me ?
