- * Structure nl_parse_state keeps state of received route processing. Ideally,
- * we could just independently parse received Netlink messages and immediately
- * propagate received routes to the rest of BIRD, but older Linux kernel (before
- * version 4.11) represents and announces IPv6 ECMP routes not as one route with
- * multiple next hops (like RTA_MULTIPATH in IPv4 ECMP), but as a sequence of
- * routes with the same prefix. More recent kernels work as with IPv4.
- *
- * Therefore, BIRD keeps currently processed route in nl_parse_state structure
- * and postpones its propagation until we expect it to be final; i.e., when
- * non-matching route is received or when the scan ends. When another matching
- * route is received, it is merged with the already processed route to form an
- * ECMP route. Note that merging is done only for IPv6 (merge == 1), but the
- * postponing is done in both cases (for simplicity). All IPv4 routes or IPv6
- * routes with RTA_MULTIPATH set are just considered non-matching.
- *
- * This is ignored for asynchronous notifications (every notification is handled
- * as a separate route). It is not an issue for our routes, as we ignore such
- * notifications anyways. But importing alien IPv6 ECMP routes does not work
- * properly with older kernels.
- *
- * Whatever the kernel version is, IPv6 ECMP routes are sent as multiple routes
- * for the same prefix.
