Bird linux "proto bird" field

[Aviolat Romain]

Hi Ondrej,

Thanks for the tip !

I also notified Arista and the fix should be available on the next EOS release (4.16) during Q1 2016.

No, there is no configurable option for that, you could change that in the source, replacing RTPROT_BIRD for RTPROT_STATIC in sysdep/linux/netlink.c (2 occurences)

Or urge Arista to fix that in their software.
