linux-cp: handle ipv4 routes when link goes down
Type: improvement Currently, when the link goes down on an interface, routes that resolve through that interface and created with Nexthop API are removed by the kernel. However, IPv4 routes remain in the FIB because the kernel doesn't send any notifications about that. And for the plugin working with user-space applications that create routes in the kernel using Nexthop API there should be a mechanism to synchronize the FIB and the kernel in this case. With this change, add two new startup configuration options to the plugin to be able to control what should happen with static and dynamic routes managed by the plugin on link down: - del-static-on-link-down (disabled by default, delete routes created with the linux-cp static FIB source on link down), - del-dynamic-on-link-down (disabled by default, delete routes created with the linux-cp dynamic FIB source on link down). Then, monitor link state changes on interfaces for which a linux-cp pair exists. If the link goes down on one of the interfaces, process routes that resolve through that interface according to the new configurations.
