There, of course, is a possibility that some other process will also use
the same flags, but 1) we do not seem to have other ways of marking
zebra-installed routes (I thought about extending rt_metrics, but kernel
can just ignore extra info and not store it),  2) it will be documented so that
it is well known, 3) there can be a configurable option allowing to specify
the way of marking with platform-dependent default value, for example:

ip mark-zebra-routes {RTF_PROTO | RTPROT_ZEBRA | RTF_DYNAMIC}

Do you have any other suggestions ?

Best,
