set route

Hello,

I think there is a little bug within the portion of code
for setting the network routing.
If I issue the following

ip li se dev x down; ip li se dev x up;\
ip ad ad 2001:db8:1:1::2/64 dev X;\
ip ro ad 2001:db8:1:1::/64 via 2001:db8:1:1::2 dev X

All id OK. If I insert a sleep 2 between set addr
and set route, I will get the error message:
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host

This seem, for me to be a BUG. The address is known
and therefore there is a route.
If the addresse for the gateway is outside, this
may make sense, but for a static route I expect
that the route is set regardless of the knowledge
of the addresse.

Do you have an explanation for the problem and if
this is a bug, will it be fixed ?

Regards,

Jean-Jacques Sarton
