Order of precedence of TMM routes and Linux routes

Hi Folks,

 

Iam still new to F5 and want to understand how routing works on F5. I understand that Linux routes handle the management traffic and TMM routes handles application traffic.

 

I noticed that the TMM routes are stored on Linux and TMM routing table. What is the reason for this and what are the relationship of this two routing table? Does TMM also uses the routes on Linux to route application traffic?

 

application delivery
LTM
management
TMOS
