kernel: does not learn routes with RTPROT_KERNEL

[Pavel Šorejs]

Hi


i have following problem - the kernel protocol ignores routes with 
RTPROT_KERNEL source. Is there some particular reason why this is so?


Why am i asking? I use BIRD in linux container orchestration context 
(Kubernetes) in conjunction with cilium project (https://cilium.io/). 
Lately they discovered, that systemd likes to mess with their routes and 
did a change to insert their routes with RTPROT_KERNEL source flag. This 
way, systemd doesn't try to mess with their routes. Side effect of this 
is that my installation got broken as BIRD ignores such routes. Now i 
don't know where to start - either they are wrong with using 
RTPROT_KERNEL flag in the first place, or BIRD is wrong by ignoring such 
routes. So i am trying here first.


Also there was some discussion in the past 
https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2013-August/008519.html, 
which just died.


Do anybody have some suggestions?


Thank You
