This is from the route(4) manpage:
: Any messages sent to the kernel are returned, and copies are sent to all
: interested listeners. The kernel will provide the process ID for the
: sender, and the sender may use an additional sequence field to distin-
: guish between outstanding messages.
And yes, routing daemon (if running) will receive these messages.
