There are several factors: 1) CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF? 2) Is it host, or router? 3) next-hop reachability If CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is enabled and the node is host, and one nexthop has better reachability, the route is always preferred even if upper layer specified specific interface. If we do not like this behavior, we should change rt6_score_route() not to return -1 something like this: n = rt6_check_neigh(rt); if (!n && (strict & RT6_LOOKUP_F_REACHABLE) && !oif) return -1; instead of ip6_route_output(). --yoshfuji
