+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ip route
+is used to manipulate entries in the kernel routing tables.
+.sp
+.B Route types:
+
+.in +8
+.B unicast
+- the route entry describes real paths to the destinations covered
+by the route prefix.
+
+.sp
+.B unreachable
+- these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the
+ICMP message
+.I host unreachable
+is generated.
+The local senders get an
+.I EHOSTUNREACH
+error.
+
+.sp
+.B blackhole
+- these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded silently.
+The local senders get an
+.I EINVAL
+error.
+
+.sp
+.B prohibit
+- these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the
+ICMP message
+.I communication administratively prohibited
+is generated. The local senders get an
+.I EACCES
+error.
+
+.sp
+.B local
+- the destinations are assigned to this host. The packets are looped
+back and delivered locally.
+
+.sp
+.B broadcast
+- the destinations are broadcast addresses. The packets are sent as
+link broadcasts.
+
+.sp
+.B throw
+- a special control route used together with policy rules. If such a
+route is selected, lookup in this table is terminated pretending that
+no route was found. Without policy routing it is equivalent to the
+absence of the route in the routing table. The packets are dropped
+and the ICMP message
+.I net unreachable
+is generated. The local senders get an
+.I ENETUNREACH
+error.
+
+.sp
+.B nat
+- a special NAT route. Destinations covered by the prefix
+are considered to be dummy (or external) addresses which require translation
+to real (or internal) ones before forwarding. The addresses to translate to
+are selected with the attribute
+.BR "via" .
+.B Warning:
+Route NAT is no longer supported in Linux 2.6.
+
+.sp
+.B anycast
+.RI "- " "not implemented"
+the destinations are
+.I anycast
+addresses assigned to this host. They are mainly equivalent
+to
+.B local
+with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used
+as the source address of any packet.
+
+.sp
+.B multicast
+- a special type used for multicast routing. It is not present in
+normal routing tables.
+.in -8
+
+.P
+.B Route tables:
+Linux-2.x can pack routes into several routing tables identified
+by a number in the range from 1 to 2^32-1 or by name from the file
+.B @SYSCONFDIR@/rt_tables
+By default all normal routes are inserted into the
+.B main
+table (ID 254) and the kernel only uses this table when calculating routes.
+Values (0, 253, 254, and 255) are reserved for built-in use.
+
+.sp
+Actually, one other table always exists, which is invisible but
+even more important. It is the
+.B local
+table (ID 255). This table
+consists of routes for local and broadcast addresses. The kernel maintains
+this table automatically and the administrator usually need not modify it
+or even look at it.
+
+The multiple routing tables enter the game when
+.I policy routing
+is used.
+
+.TP
+ip route add
+add new route
+.TP
+ip route change
+change route
+.TP
+ip route replace
+change or add new one
+.RS
+.TP
+.BI to " TYPE PREFIX " (default)
+the destination prefix of the route. If
+.I TYPE
+is omitted,
+.B ip
+assumes type
+.BR "unicast" .
+Other values of
+.I TYPE
+are listed above.
+.I PREFIX
+is an IP or IPv6 address optionally followed by a slash and the
+prefix length. If the length of the prefix is missing,
+.B ip
+assumes a full-length host route. There is also a special
+.I PREFIX
+.B default
+- which is equivalent to IP
+.B 0/0
+or to IPv6
+.BR "::/0" .
+
+.TP
+.BI tos " TOS"
+.TP
+.BI dsfield " TOS"
+the Type Of Service (TOS) key. This key has no associated mask and
+the longest match is understood as: First, compare the TOS
+of the route and of the packet. If they are not equal, then the packet
+may still match a route with a zero TOS.
+.I TOS
+is either an 8 bit hexadecimal number or an identifier
+from
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/rt_dsfield" .
+
+.TP
+.BI metric " NUMBER"
+.TP
+.BI preference " NUMBER"
+the preference value of the route.
+.I NUMBER
+is an arbitrary 32bit number, where routes with lower values are preferred.
+
+.TP
+.BI table " TABLEID"
+the table to add this route to.
+.I TABLEID
+may be a number or a string from the file
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/rt_tables" .
+If this parameter is omitted,
+.B ip
+assumes the
+.B main
+table, with the exception of
+.BR local ", " broadcast " and " nat
+routes, which are put into the
+.B local
+table by default.
+
+.TP
+.BI vrf " NAME"
+the vrf name to add this route to. Implicitly means the table
+associated with the VRF.
+
+.TP
+.BI dev " NAME"
+the output device name.
+
+.TP
+.BI via " [ FAMILY ] ADDRESS"
+the address of the nexthop router, in the address family FAMILY.
+Actually, the sense of this field depends on the route type. For
+normal
+.B unicast
+routes it is either the true next hop router or, if it is a direct
+route installed in BSD compatibility mode, it can be a local address
+of the interface. For NAT routes it is the first address of the block
+of translated IP destinations.
+
+.TP
+.BI src " ADDRESS"
+the source address to prefer when sending to the destinations
+covered by the route prefix.
+
+.TP
+.BI realm " REALMID"
+the realm to which this route is assigned.
+.I REALMID
+may be a number or a string from the file
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/rt_realms" .
+
+.TP
+.BI mtu " MTU"
+.TP
+.BI "mtu lock" " MTU"
+the MTU along the path to the destination. If the modifier
+.B lock
+is not used, the MTU may be updated by the kernel due to
+Path MTU Discovery. If the modifier
+.B lock
+is used, no path MTU discovery will be tried, all packets
+will be sent without the DF bit in IPv4 case or fragmented
+to MTU for IPv6.
+
+.TP
+.BI window " NUMBER"
+the maximal window for TCP to advertise to these destinations,
+measured in bytes. It limits maximal data bursts that our TCP
+peers are allowed to send to us.
+
+.TP
+.BI rtt " TIME"
+the initial RTT ('Round Trip Time') estimate. If no suffix is
+specified the units are raw values passed directly to the
+routing code to maintain compatibility with previous releases.
+Otherwise if a suffix of s, sec or secs is used to specify
+seconds and ms, msec or msecs to specify milliseconds.
+
+
+.TP
+.BI rttvar " TIME " "(Linux 2.3.15+ only)"
+the initial RTT variance estimate. Values are specified as with
+.BI rtt
+above.
+
+.TP
+.BI rto_min " TIME " "(Linux 2.6.23+ only)"
+the minimum TCP Retransmission TimeOut to use when communicating with this
+destination. Values are specified as with
+.BI rtt
+above.
+
+.TP
+.BI ssthresh " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.3.15+ only)"
+an estimate for the initial slow start threshold.
+
+.TP
+.BI cwnd " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.3.15+ only)"
+the clamp for congestion window. It is ignored if the
+.B lock
+flag is not used.
+
+.TP
+.BI initcwnd " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.5.70+ only)"
+the initial congestion window size for connections to this destination.
+Actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS
+(``Maximal Segment Size'') for same connection. The default is
+zero, meaning to use the values specified in RFC2414.
+
+.TP
+.BI initrwnd " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.6.33+ only)"
+the initial receive window size for connections to this destination.
+Actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS of the connection.
+The default value is zero, meaning to use Slow Start value.
+
+.TP
+.BI features " FEATURES " (Linux 3.18+ only)
+Enable or disable per-route features. Only available feature at this
+time is
+.B ecn
+to enable explicit congestion notification when initiating connections to the
+given destination network.
+When responding to a connection request from the given network, ecn will
+also be used even if the
+.B net.ipv4.tcp_ecn
+sysctl is set to 0.
+
+.TP
+.BI quickack " BOOL " "(Linux 3.11+ only)"
+Enable or disable quick ack for connections to this destination.
+
+.TP
+.BI fastopen_no_cookie " BOOL " "(Linux 4.15+ only)"
+Enable TCP Fastopen without a cookie for connections to this destination.
+
+.TP
+.BI congctl " NAME " "(Linux 3.20+ only)"
+.TP
+.BI "congctl lock" " NAME " "(Linux 3.20+ only)"
+Sets a specific TCP congestion control algorithm only for a given destination.
+If not specified, Linux keeps the current global default TCP congestion control
+algorithm, or the one set from the application. If the modifier
+.B lock
+is not used, an application may nevertheless overwrite the suggested congestion
+control algorithm for that destination. If the modifier
+.B lock
+is used, then an application is not allowed to overwrite the specified congestion
+control algorithm for that destination, thus it will be enforced/guaranteed to
+use the proposed algorithm.
+
+.TP
+.BI advmss " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.3.15+ only)"
+the MSS ('Maximal Segment Size') to advertise to these
+destinations when establishing TCP connections. If it is not given,
+Linux uses a default value calculated from the first hop device MTU.
+(If the path to these destination is asymmetric, this guess may be wrong.)
+
+.TP
+.BI reordering " NUMBER " "(Linux 2.3.15+ only)"
+Maximal reordering on the path to this destination.
+If it is not given, Linux uses the value selected with
+.B sysctl
+variable
+.BR "net/ipv4/tcp_reordering" .
+
+.TP
+.BI nexthop " NEXTHOP"
+the nexthop of a multipath route.
+.I NEXTHOP
+is a complex value with its own syntax similar to the top level
+argument lists:
+
+.in +8
+.BI via " [ FAMILY ] ADDRESS"
+- is the nexthop router.
+.sp
+
+.BI dev " NAME"
+- is the output device.
+.sp
+
+.BI weight " NUMBER"
+- is a weight for this element of a multipath
+route reflecting its relative bandwidth or quality.
+.in -8
+
+The internal buffer used in iproute2 limits the maximum number of nexthops that
+may be specified in one go. If only
+.I ADDRESS
+is given, the current buffer size allows for 144 IPv6 nexthops and 253 IPv4
+ones. For IPv4, this effectively limits the number of nexthops possible per
+route. With IPv6, further nexthops may be appended to the same route via
+.B "ip route append"
+command.
+
+.TP
+.BI scope " SCOPE_VAL"
+the scope of the destinations covered by the route prefix.
+.I SCOPE_VAL
+may be a number or a string from the file
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/rt_scopes" .
+If this parameter is omitted,
+.B ip
+assumes scope
+.B global
+for all gatewayed
+.B unicast
+routes, scope
+.B link
+for direct
+.BR unicast " and " broadcast
+routes and scope
+.BR host " for " local
+routes.
+
+.TP
+.BI protocol " RTPROTO"
+the routing protocol identifier of this route.
+.I RTPROTO
+may be a number or a string from the file
+.BR "@SYSCONFDIR@/rt_protos" .
+If the routing protocol ID is not given,
+.B ip assumes protocol
+.B boot
+(i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't
+understand what they are doing). Several protocol values have
+a fixed interpretation.
+Namely:
+
+.in +8
+.B redirect
+- the route was installed due to an ICMP redirect.
+.sp
+
+.B kernel
+- the route was installed by the kernel during autoconfiguration.
+.sp
+
+.B boot
+- the route was installed during the bootup sequence.
+If a routing daemon starts, it will purge all of them.
+.sp
+
+.B static
+- the route was installed by the administrator
+to override dynamic routing. Routing daemon will respect them
+and, probably, even advertise them to its peers.
+.sp
+
+.B ra
+- the route was installed by Router Discovery protocol.
+.in -8
+
+.sp
+The rest of the values are not reserved and the administrator is free
+to assign (or not to assign) protocol tags.
+
+.TP
+.B onlink
+pretend that the nexthop is directly attached to this link,
+even if it does not match any interface prefix.
+
+.TP
+.BI pref " PREF"
+the IPv6 route preference.
+.I PREF
+is a string specifying the route preference as defined in RFC4191 for Router
+Discovery messages. Namely:
+
+.in +8
+.B low
+- the route has a lowest priority
+.sp
+
+.B medium
+- the route has a default priority
+.sp
+
+.B high
+- the route has a highest priority
+.sp
+
+.TP
+.BI nhid " ID"
+use nexthop object with given id as nexthop specification.
+.sp
+.TP
+.BI encap " ENCAPTYPE ENCAPHDR"
+attach tunnel encapsulation attributes to this route.
+.sp
+.I ENCAPTYPE
+is a string specifying the supported encapsulation type. Namely:
+
+.in +8
+.BI mpls
+- encapsulation type MPLS
+.sp
+.BI ip
+- IP encapsulation (Geneve, GRE, VXLAN, ...)
+.sp
+.BI bpf
+- Execution of BPF program
+.sp
+.BI seg6
+- encapsulation type IPv6 Segment Routing
+.sp
+.BI seg6local
+- local SRv6 segment processing
+.sp
+.BI ioam6
+- encapsulation type IPv6 IOAM
+.sp
+.BI xfrm
+- encapsulation type XFRM
+
+.in -8
