[PATCH v0 net-next 1/1] Allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router Advertisement. Router Advertisement.
From: Praveen Chaudhary
Date: Mon Jan 11 2021 - 15:17:19 EST
Fix:
For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.
Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
similar to IPv4. This fix adds sysctl for the same.
