Can bird include metrics when installing linux kernel routes?
Hi, Is there a way to make bird include a metric when installing routes into the linux routing table? I want to base the metric on the length of the BGP path (so longer path via prepending has higher metric), or failing that, a local_pref value. Regards, Mike

Hi You could set krt_metric attribute, but usually it is better to resolve multiple routes inside BIRD and then have just one route per destination in the kernel routing table.
