Hello!<br>
<br>
Yes, we definitely want to support it, yet last time when we were
talking about it, it was still unstable. It is good news that it
really has come in, we'll study it and most likely also implement
it.<br>
<br>
Thank you for pointing this out.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Hi folks,
Cumulus people implemented nexthop objects/nexthop groups [1] in Linux kernel some time ago. These changes allow for more efficient communications between kernel and userspace w/ wide multipath & large amount of routes.
Initial support landed [2] in FRR in 2019 and has notably improved since then.
Are there any plans to support this functionality in bird?

<p>Dear Programmers, <br>
</p>
<p>does it imply, that upcoming Linux nexthop objects/nexthop groups
support in Bird will be automatically compatible also with just
committed FreeBSD new routing kpi[1] ?</p>
