What I meant is whether you are referring to addrconf_prefix_route() when
you
mention storing prefix on fib ?

Also since you prefer it to be implemented as part of routing table, would
it
be OK to return the prefix list via netstat or route command (this uses
rt6_info_route() to print the information). The current user for prefix
list
has no problem using a command instead of writing netlink user code to get
the list. I am not sure why rtnetlink is needed in this case.
