This seems to only be a display problem, though I don't know if it's the kernel or iproute2 that needs attention here... $ ip -6 route add 2001:789::/64 dev eth1 expires 5 $ watch ip -6 route show dev eth1 Every 2.0s: ip -6 route show dev enp0s9 myhost: Tue Jul 2 10:07:33 2024 2001:2:0:1000::/64 proto ra metric 2048 pref medium 2001:789::/64 metric 1024 expires -15sec pref medium <<< negative expiry! fe80::/64 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium Notice the -15sec expiration time. The route really does become unavailable when it reaches zero, so this seems to be a display problem only, as can be demonstrated with: $ watch ip -6 route get 2001:789::1 After 5s, the route becomes UNREACHABLE.
