No; `default` has nothing to do with the gateway field. It's an alias for the route *destination network* field, specifically ::/0 for IPv6 or 0.0.0.0/0 for IPv6. What you have is a completely standard IPv6 default route, regardless of which table it's in: [Route] Destination=::/0 Gateway=fe80::1 -- Mantas Mikulėnas
