+Subject: [PATCH] net: allow user to set metric on default route learned via
+ Router Advertisement
+
+For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
+metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
+be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.
+
+Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
+similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same.
+
+Logs:
+
+For IPv4:
+
+Config in etc/network/interfaces:
+auto eth0
+iface eth0 inet dhcp
+    metric 4261413864
+
+IPv4 Kernel Route Table:
+$ ip route list
+default via 172.21.47.1 dev eth0 metric 4261413864
+
+FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
+[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.]
+Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP,
+       O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
+       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
+       > - selected route, * - FIB route
+
+S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:03
+K   0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m
+
+i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.
+Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.
+
+After fix [for IPv6]:
+sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489705
+
+IP monitor: [When IPv6 RA is received]
+default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705  pref high
+
+Kernel IPv6 routing table
+$ ip -6 route list
+default via fe80::be16:65ff:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 expires 21sec hoplimit 64 pref high
+
+FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
+[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over IPv6 RA default route.]
+Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIPng,
+       O - OSPFv3, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, N - NHRP, T - Table,
+       v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
+       > - selected route, * - FIB route
+
+S>* ::/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:06
+K   ::/0 [119/1001] via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e, eth0, 6d07h43m
+
+If the metric is changed later, the effect will be seen only when next IPv6
+RA is received, because the default route must be fully controlled by RA msg.
+Below metric is changed from 1996489705 to 1996489704.
+
+$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489704
+net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric = 1996489704
+
+IP monitor:
+[On next IPv6 RA msg, Kernel deletes prev route and installs new route with updated metric]
+
+Deleted default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 expires 3sec hoplimit 64 pref high
+default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489704 pref high
