According to the OpenWRT Network documentation for route, the 'source' option
is The preferred source address when sending to destinations covered by the
target. However, netifd currently stores this value in RTA_SRC on
NEWROUTE/DELROUTE.
RTA_SRC is not used by kernel when handling NEWROUTE nor
NAK, this would break source-dest-routing for IPv6 (documentation seems
to be wrong here).
Maybe we should use RTA_PREFSRC for IPv4 and RTA_SRC for IPv6?

Sounds good to me. I am not to familiar with configuring IPv6, so I
was not aware that RTA_SRC is used differently there.
If no-one else jumps in before me, I
Fixes source routing for IPv6 prefix address on the interface
to which a prefix is assigned. If a packet is received on this
interface with as destination address the IPv6 prefix address
coming from a different prefix then this networking rule will
take care of the selection of the correct IPv6
Hello Hans,
could you please explain your patch again. I didn't quite get the
paragraph you've written. It seems the sentence is a bit garbled.
Thanks,
Steven
