I have encountered this behaviour on the wily lts kernel in 14.04 (4.2.0-23-generic #28~14.04.1-Ubuntu)
However, i have manually added the route via ip route command, e.g. # ip r a 192.168.100.1/32 dev br-ext ip route show shows nothing, but ip route get displays the route. # ip route show | grep 192.168.100.1 # ip route get 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 dev br-ext src 10.10.2.2 cache The kernel seems to have this route, as it can be deleted # ip r del 192.168.100.1/32 dev br-ext And if trying to delete it again, I get an error message as expected. # ip r del 192.168.100.1/32 dev br-ext RTNETLINK answers: No such process So I would retitle this bug as "routing table does not always show all routes" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411350 Title: routing table does not show dynamic routes Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Dynamic routes gotten from ICMP-redirect message are not shown in the routing table. Here is an example from my network: My default router is 147.91.174.17 which had sent back ICMP-redirect packet to change route to 147.91.174.5 $route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 147.91.174.17 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 147.91.174.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 $netstat -rt Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface default 147.91.174.17 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 147.91.174.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 $ ip route show default via 147.91.174.17 dev eth0 proto static 147.91.174.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 147.91.174.16 metric 1 But packets to certain hosts are routed to a different router: # ip route get 82.94.219.115 82.94.219.115 via 147.91.174.5 dev eth0 src 147.91.174.16 cache <redirected> As you can see, route to 147.91.174.5 is not listed in the main routing table.
