    net: ipv6: Add support to dump multipath routes via RTA_MULTIPATH attribute · beb1afac
    David Ahern 提交于
    IPv6 returns multipath routes as a series of individual routes making
    their display and handling by userspace different and more complicated
    than IPv4, putting the burden on the user to see that a route is part of
    a multipath route and internally creating a multipath route if desired
    (e.g., libnl does this as of commit 29b71371e764). This patch addresses
    this difference, allowing multipath routes to be returned using the
    RTA_MULTIPATH attribute.
    
    The end result is that IPv6 multipath routes can be treated and displayed
    in a format similar to IPv4:
    
        $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
        2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium
        2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256  pref medium
        2001:db8:200::/120 metric 1024

    	    nexthop via 2001:db8:2::2  dev eth2 weight 1
