RTF_ANNOUNCE silently overloads RTF_PROTO2, leading to non-obvious
and undesired behavior, particularly in IPv6, where routes with PROTO2
basically don't work.
We used to have only 16 bits of flags, but now have 32, so they aren't
scarce. The only issue is the old compat structures. RTF_ANNOUNCE is
used in very few places, and binary compat with old programs that
publish proxy arp routes seems to be a non-issue.
Also, there are two other RTF_ flgs defined but not used aywhere,
aliasing PROTO1.
The following diffs clean up the situation, removing the other flags,
giving RTF_ANNOUNCE its own bit, and adding support for that bit to
netstat and route. A previous incarnation was tested on netbsd-5 with
PROTO2 on v4 and v6, and this exacct patch is currently undergoing
testing.
Figuring this out and the changes are due to Bev Schwartz of BBN, and

removed unused RTF_ flags that collide with RTF_PROTO1
netinet/icmp6.h defines RTF_PROBEMTU as RTF_PROTO1
netinet/if_inarp.h defines RTF_USETRAILERS as RTF_PROTO1
Neither of these flags are used anywhere.
Both have been removed to reduce changes of collision with RTF_PROTO1.

Moved RTF_ANNOUNCE flag so that it no longer conflicts with RTF_PROTO2
RTF_ANNOUNCE was defined as RTF_PROTO2. The flag is used to indicated
that host should act as a proxy for a link level arp or ndp request.
If RTF_PROTO2 is used as an experimental flag (as advertised), additional
link layer traffic *may* be produced if RTF_ANNOUNCE conflicts with
RTF_PROTO2. In addition, in certain cases in IPv6, it impedes correct
traffic from being transmitted.
Not only is the flag moved, but some user space applications are modified
to properly support this flag.
KERNEL
- sys/net/route.h:
added definition for RTF_ANNOUNCE
- sys/netinet/if_inarp.h:
- sys/netinet6nd6.h:
removed previous definitions for RTF_ANNOUNCE
NETSTAT
- usr.bin/netstat/show.c:
added this new flag ('p' proxy/RTF_ANNOUNCE) to the bits structure
- usr.bin/netstat/netstat.1:
added documentation describing what the 'p' (proxy/RTF_ANNOUNCE) flag is
ROUTE
- sbin/route/keywords.c:
- sbin/route/keywords.h:
- sbin/route/keywords.sh:
keywords.[ch] was out of sync with keywords.sh. So I corrected the previous
error. (It appeared someone hand-coded support for "nocloned" and "nocloning"
in keywords.[ch] rather than adding "nocloned" and "nocloning" to keywords.sh.)
In addition, I added my new "proxy" key word.
- sbin/route/show.c
Added this new flag ('p' proxy/RTF_ANNOUNCE) to the bits structure.
Its usefulness is questionable, because the show function only displays the
flags it finds interesting: UGHRL. If someone decides to remove the
"interesting" mask, then the proxy flag is there for future use.
- sbin/route/route.c
Added new option to the route program to turn the RTF_ANNOUNCE on.
- sbin/route/route.8
added documentation for the new -proxy option
