If the device for a nexthop in a multipath route is deleted, the nexthop is effectively removed from the route. Currently, a route dump still returns the nexhop though without the device set:
$ ip -f mpls ro ls 100 nexthopvia inet 10.11.1.2 dev br0 nexthopvia inet 10.100.3.1 dev eth3 $ ip li del br0 $ ip -f mpls ro ls 100 nexthopvia inet 10.11.1.2 dev * dead linkdown nexthopvia inet 10.100.3.1 dev eth3 Since the nexthop is effectively deleted, drop the hop from the route dump.
