📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughLinux routes now store a route kind. Linux route-message conversion preserves non-unicast kinds, and outgoing non-unicast messages omit gateway and output-interface attributes. ChangesLinux route kinds
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Reject routes are added and listed correctly. However, a listed reject route created by another tool may fail to delete. On IPv6, following the documented metric guidance with a zero metric can remove the wrong route. Fix the deletion behavior or correct the documentation before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new route kinds are opt-in and preserve ordinary forwarding behavior. The main concern is IPv6 cleanup: deleting a reject route may also match another route because the kind is ignored and interface specificity is discarded. Existing route-management privileges limit exposure, but competing-route behavior needs validation. Retained concerns

- Around line 173-175: Update the route-deletion guidance near `with_metric` to
clarify that exact IPv6 deletion requires a nonzero effective metric; metric
zero may be treated as no metric filter and can delete another route with the
same prefix.
Review comments at @src/linux/mod.rs:
- Around line 323-328: Update the route parsing in RouteManager::list to
preserve the protocol from the listed route, so deletion uses the stored
protocol rather than defaulting to Static; keep the existing
RouteType-to-RouteKind mapping unchanged.

Preserve the protocol needed to delete a listed reject route.
If RouteManager::list returns a reject route created with iproute2’s default Boot protocol, this parser retains its kind but not its protocol. The delete request then uses Static protocol at src/linux/mod.rs:359. Linux compares the supplied protocol with the stored protocol, so deletion returns “not found.” Preserve the listed protocol for deletion, or remove the claim at src/common/mod.rs:173-175 that deleting a listed route identifies it exactly.

Add an opt-in with_kind(RouteKind) builder on Linux to create routes that refuse traffic instead of forwarding it (equivalent to `ip route add unreachable|blackhole|prohibit`). The route message sets rtm_type to the chosen kind, and the kind is parsed back from the kernel so list/listen reflect it. - RouteKind: new #[non_exhaustive] enum (Unicast, Unreachable, Blackhole, Prohibit), defaulting to Unicast and exported from the crate root - Route: new kind field (defaults to Unicast), with_kind builder, kind() getter; check() rejects a gateway on non-unicast kinds - with_kind docs note that the kernel ignores the kind when deleting an IPv6 route; give the route a nonzero metric or delete it through the route returned by list() to remove exactly that route - linux: set rtm_type from the kind on add/delete and omit the Gateway and Oif attributes for non-unicast kinds; parse unreachable, blackhole and prohibit back in list/listen, other types still map to Unicast - IPv4 reject routes returned by list() could not be deleted before, because the crate sent them as unicast and the kernel matches the route type on IPv4 delete; now the kind round-trips, so deleting the listed route succeeds for routes with protocol static - Display only mentions kind when it is not Unicast, keeping default output unchanged - Unit tests for building and parsing route messages Gated entirely behind cfg(target_os = "linux"); no impact on other platforms or existing behavior.
