There are several ip route callback, should we fix all of them? Do we
have a simple way to do it?
I am not sure, but most likely we can not simplify it. "ip route" is
based on routing table.
While "ip neigh" is based on neighbor's discovery protocol(L2 protocol),
which means the peer should be on the switch.
As for link-local addr, there is no subnet fields, I can not figure out how it is go
through routing table.
Versa vice, the problem based on routing-table can not be resolved by L2 info.
