In fact i can't even predict the name of the interface via which the traffic
will be routed, because my VPN is based on VTUN servers. They choose the next free tun
device, respectively interface, when the VPN connection is established beteen 2 peers.
I read the Quagga documentation a lot of times, but i couldn't find any clue
how to manipulated metrics when the traffic comes from distinct neighbour. Could you
help me with this, please ?
