I've been searching this in linux-ip.net and the whole internet but does appears nothing. What does the "proto kernel" part means in a Routing Table?
Just an example:
[root@tristan]# ip route show table local local 192.168.99.35 dev eth0 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.99.35 broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1
excerpt from man ip(8)
:
protocol RTPROTO the routing protocol identifier of this route. RTPROTO may be a number or a string from the file /etc/iproute2/rt_protos. If the routing protocol ID is not given, ip assumes protocol boot (i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't understand what they are doing). Several protocol values have a fixed interpretation. Namely: redirect - the route was installed due to an ICMP redirect. kernel - the route was installed by the kernel during autoconfiguration. boot - the route was installed during the bootup sequence. If a routing daemon starts, it will purge all of them. static - the route was installed by the administrator to override dynamic routing. Routing daemon will respect them and, probably, even advertise them to its peers. ra - the route was installed by Router Discovery protocol. The rest of the values are not reserved and the administrator is free to assign (or not to assign) protocol tags.
