> Recent linux kernels (roughly 3.x) keep a routing cache for IPv6: each

> Asking babeld to redistribute all IPv6 routes known to the host, using
> "redistribute ip ::/0", causes it to announce and de-announce these
> /128 routes frequently, leading other nodes to mark them as
> unreachable (thus preventing communication with the host described by
> the /128 route, even though less specific routes are available).
Pushed to both branches. Thanks.
(In the future, please note that I use a 4-space indent.)
