iproute2 can inconsistently show the name of protocol 0 if a route with a custom protocol is added. For example: dsa@cartman:~$ ip -6 ro ls table all | egrep 'proto none|proto unspec' local ::1 dev lo table local proto none metric 0 pref medium local fe80::225:90ff:fecb:1c18 dev lo table local proto none metric 0 pref medium local fe80::92e2:baff:fe5c:da5d dev lo table local proto none metric 0 pref medium protocol 0 is pretty printed as "none". Add a route with a custom protocol: dsa@cartman:~$ sudo ip -6 ro add 2001:db8:200::1/128 dev eth0 proto 123 And now display has switched from "none" to "unspec": dsa@cartman:~$ ip -6 ro ls table all | egrep 'proto none|proto unspec' local ::1 dev lo table local proto unspec metric 0 pref medium local fe80::225:90ff:fecb:1c18 dev lo table local proto unspec metric 0 pref medium local fe80::92e2:baff:fe5c:da5d dev lo table local proto unspec metric 0 pref medium The rt_protos file has the id to name mapping as "unspec" while rtnl_rtprot_tab[0] has "none". The presence of a custom protocol id triggers reading the rt_protos file and overwriting the string in rtnl_rtprot_tab. All of this is logic from 2004 and earlier. Update rtnl_rtprot_tab to "unspec" to match the enum value. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> |

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
