Subject: [PATCH] Allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router Advertisement.
Date:   Wed, 30 Dec 2020 00:48:33 -0800
Message-Id: <1609318113-12770-2-git-send-email-pchaudhary@linkedin.com>
In-Reply-To: <1609318113-12770-1-git-send-email-pchaudhary@linkedin.com>
References: <1609318113-12770-1-git-send-email-pchaudhary@linkedin.com>
Precedence: bulk

Fix:
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 fix adds sysctl for the same.
