Hi Jim, I don't claim to know the answer exactly, but...

Thanks for the RFC reference. A little above the reference you shared is the following: "...Fields that are labeled "address" can contain any of the following: host address subnet number network number zero (default route)..." That would suggest that default includes the subnet number zero.
I don???t know if there's any wiggle room on this or not as I'm not sure what the quagga community protocol is for requesting a change to RIP based on a reading of the RFC. If the group is open, I'd be happy to change the code to remove the restriction and submit a patch.
Conceptually, you can't really know whether the address is 0, if you can only look at the first bit, can you?
I would think 0/1 should do as you wanted. Just as 128/1 should. regards, -- Paul Jakma | [email protected] | @pjakma | Key ID: 0xD86BF79464A2FF6A Fortune: Hard reality has a way of cramping your style. -- Daniel Dennett _______________________________________________ Quagga-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.quagga.net/mailman/listinfo/quagga-dev
