Hi,
I'm working with vers.19.08 and see something that cannot understand. Currently 
in FIB route path definition preference and weight are u8. In same time 
preference(metric) in Linux kernel is 32 bit value. My target is to inject 
routes in VPP and to keep same parameters like in Linux kernel. So here i face 
the conflict. And this is most visible when examine IPv6 routing table in 
Linux, where default metric/preference of default route is 1024. Question is 
how to overcome this problem where is possible Linux kernel to have routes with 
metric bigger than 255 and in same time VPP Fib do not allow this ? I saw that 
with this patch https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/7586 is introduced preference 
and weight become from u32 to u16. Now weight and preference are u8. Is there 
some plans VPP Fib to accepts preference bigger than u8 ? Is there some 
workaround for this problem ?
Regards,
Dimitar
