Since iproute2 version 3.3 the location of the config files has been configurable, with the default being /etc/iproute2. Since version 4.4 there has been an rt_tables.d sub-directory. Version 4.10 added an rt_protos.d sub-directory, and version 6.5 added a second directory (/usr/lib/iproute2 or /usr/lib64/iproute) which 6.7 changed to /usr/share/iproute2 as the default. No major distro appears to change the default locations, and the only distro that used verion 6.5 or 6.6 was Fedora 40, but that has now upgraded to 6.7 so we are not bothered with the /usr/lib* options. The two directories have configure options, and if they are not specified, configure attempts to get the locations from the ip-route man page or the ip executable.

This is similar to being able to specify a protocol of ip routes and rules. Signed-off-by: Quentin Armitage <[email protected]>

If there is no keepalived entry in rt_addrprotos create an entry which is removed when keepalived terminates. This will allow ip address show to display the protocol of an address as "keepalived" rather than 0x12. Signed-off-by: Quentin Armitage <[email protected]>
