Poking around looking for more information, I ran across this little tidbit:
>From man 7 rtnetlink:
rtm_type Route type
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RTN_UNSPEC unknown route
RTN_UNICAST a gateway or direct route
RTN_LOCAL a local interface route
RTN_BROADCAST a local broadcast route (sent as a broadcast)
RTN_ANYCAST a local broadcast route (sent as a unicast)
RTN_MULTICAST a multicast route
RTN_BLACKHOLE a packet dropping route
RTN_UNREACHABLE an unreachable destination
RTN_PROHIBIT a packet rejection route
RTN_THROW continue routing lookup in another table
This clears up the confusion I had about "anycast" versus "broadcast".
Is there a shell tool that will show the route type(s) for a
specified address?
