My comment above was about my concerns regarding making a user space visible change, which in the end could alter the behavior of already existing software.

Thanks,

But I think NDA_DST/RTN_UNICAST have different means in this context,
even though the value of NDA_DST == RTN_UNICAST.
For arp proxy/NDP proxy context, ndm_type means the peer L3 address,
so RTN_UNICAST is the right value. For vxlan have similar semantic for
remote ip.
BTW: In the source code, implicit think NDA_DST == RTN_UNICAST maybe
not a good idea when we don't have a comment or the other explain.
I am totally with you and think your change is good, that's why I also

My comment above was about my concerns regarding making a user space
visible change, which in the end could alter the behavior of already
existing software.
Developers maybe have debugged code and seen some different value being
propagated from the kernel and this software could now break if we would
change the value after all those years.
