Sorry for late answer, 'device route' i call a route for directly attached network prefix, with associated iface but without associated gateway IP. Perhaps there is a better / more established term for such routes.
Sorry, my spam filter was delaying this.
That's what I have I think? I have the '45.63.4.188 dev veth0 scope link' route, I'm not aware of any other way to add this (and it doesn't use a gateway IP).
Well, the recommended way is to add ptp address:
ip addr add A.B.C.D peer 45.63.4.188 dev veth0
instead of just the route (when ptp address is added, the route is also added by the kernel)
The host end of the interface does not have an IP address, so using 'ip addr add' won't really work. A peer address won't really work, this isn't a /30 (the 45.63.4.188 IP is assigned to a virtual machine, and is part of a bigger /23, we're using proxy ARP to get traffic to/from the VM).
