Also, alien routes are correctly parsed when next-hops are correctly ordered (I didn't check if this restriction is also present for IPv4 or if Linux is always sending IPv4 multipath routes with next-hops correctly ordered)
It's the same for IPv4. Dunno if it should be considered as a bug?
Not sure what is a problem here. Do you mean that alien routes are not correctly parsed when next-hops are not ordered? How does the problem manifests?
