This can be either a Link Local or Global IPv6 address. - Metric - The value used for comparing this route to other routes with the same destination in the IPv6 route table. This is an administrative distance with the range of 0-255. - Life-Time - The timeout interval of the route if no activity takes place. Infinite means the address is never deleted. - Route Type - Specifies whether the destination is directly-attached and the means by which the entry was learned. The possible options are: • Local - A directly-connected route entry. • Static - Manually configured route, supported only for default gateway, learned through the Neighbor Discover (ND) process. • ICMP - The route was learned through ICMP Redirect messages, sent by the router. • ND - Route was learned by the ND protocol from Router Advertisement messages.
