The blinding table (BT) contains a list of mac addresses that will be,

fwt_list_route
This command is used to list a route from the FWT table. The only
parameter is the route ID. If you want to list all the routes in a
table, start with rid=0, and keep incrementing rid until you get a
"(null)" string. This function is similar to fwt_list. The only
difference is the output format. Also note that this command is meant
for debugging. It is expected that users will use fwt_lookup and
fwt_list. One important reason for this is that the route id may change
as the route table is altered.
