I can think of several possibilities that may cause the entries:
- when this node sends ICMPv6 error messages to those addresses, it
can create route entries. I suspect this is the main reason since
in this case the destination of route entries would contain other
types of addresses than 6to4. You can (implicitly) check if this
happened by looking at the result of 'netstat -s -p icmp6'
- if this node can be the originator (i.e., not a forwarder as a
router) to those destinations, it can create host routes for the
destinations.
- if you use some network-level hooks (e.g., packet filters) that rely
on routing table lookups, the node may have the host routes.
Can one of those be the case in your environment?
