I stumbled on a problem that was discussed already several years ago (e.g.
https://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2011-October/008960.html), but
still seems not to be completely solved. The problem is the Linux kernel in some
situations silently drops entries from its routing table, and Quagga does not
notice they are not in FIB. Below is an example with a static default route,
using Quagga 0.99.23 and Linux 3.10.28. The netmask for a PtP interface may be
considered wrong, but still Quagga and the kernel are not in sync. Does anyone
have an idea how it could be best fixed?
Probably it's best fixed by fixing the bug in Linux.  That seems far
easier than writing workarounds.
No. Kernel/user API is sacrosanct and can not be changed

Hi,

I am trying to understand what is not happening that someone thinks should 
happen. Is it that
the default route is dropped and no notification is sent up the netlink socket?

Thanks,
Steve
