There was a problem hiding this comment.
We could avoid the delete and add, but we’d need to check if it exists for semantics reasons in ifconfig. Maybe later, not for now.

Fixes: #9135
This uses the same logic and reuses most code of the existing
prefixes.phpandprefixes.sh.I tested it and it works on my box that has a static delegated prefix from my ISP, the service also works after a reboot.
The lease files are synchronized between primary and secondary kea nodes in HA, meaning both will install the same static routes.
A static route can only be installed if there is an interface with an IPv6 address in the same prefix as the gateway address (IA_NA) of the IA_PD.
This means currently there is no support for LLA routes, as we do not want to assume anything. IA_NA and IA_PD are both in the lease file == zero assumptions.
Theoretically if one would use KEA hooks, there is an env variable with the LLA of the requesting client, which could theoretically be used for routing, if one would be bold enough to trust KEAs hooks.
