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:db8:1::2 dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop via 2001:db8:2::2 dev eth2 weight 1 Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
