Hi

It seems to me that many of these changes replicate the changes that we
made in development of BIRD 2.x, perhaps your SADR support could be
moved to that branch.

It seems to me that a natural way how to represent SADR routes would be
to have a new network type (e.g. NET_IP6_SADR) containing both src and
dst IPv6 prefixes. That would allow to use generic code for handling
networks and routes for handling SADR routes.
