    ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath (ECMP) · 51ebd318

    Each nexthop is added like a single route in the routing table. All routes
    that have the same metric/weight and destination but not the same gateway
    are considering as ECMP routes. They are linked together, through a list called
    rt6i_siblings.
    
    ECMP routes can be added in one shot, with RTA_MULTIPATH attribute or one after
    the other (in both case, the flag NLM_F_EXCL should not be set).
    
    The patch is based on a previous work from
    Luc Saillard <luc.saillard@6wind.com>.
