Good day - If anyone could please point me to some documentation on what RTA_PRIORITY and RTA_METRICS route attributes actually do in the modern Linux kernel, precisely, I'd be much obliged . I understand RTA_METRICS is meant to represent 'administrative distance' , and higher values are greater distance and therefore have lower precedence ? But what about RTA_PRIORITY ? Is numerically lesser RTA_PRIORITY higher precedence or lower ? Does it override or is it overridden by RTA_METRICS? I can't seem to find this documented anywhere - I'll have to dig it out of the kernel source code . I agree with the rtnetlink(7) manual page where it states 'Fill these values in!' below the scant documentation of the RTA_* attributes . Is there any attempt to do so out there online or on the cards?
