+ * Structure nl_parse_state keeps state of received route processing. Ideally,
+ * we could just independently parse received Netlink messages and immediately
+ * propagate received routes to the rest of BIRD, but older Linux kernel (before
+ * version 4.11) represents and announces IPv6 ECMP routes not as one route with
+ * multiple next hops (like RTA_MULTIPATH in IPv4 ECMP), but as a sequence of
+ * routes with the same prefix. More recent kernels work as with IPv4.
+ *
+ * Therefore, BIRD keeps currently processed route in nl_parse_state structure
+ * and postpones its propagation until we expect it to be final; i.e., when
+ * non-matching route is received or when the scan ends. When another matching
+ * route is received, it is merged with the already processed route to form an
+ * ECMP route. Note that merging is done only for IPv6 (merge == 1), but the
+ * postponing is done in both cases (for simplicity). All IPv4 routes or IPv6
+ * routes with RTA_MULTIPATH set are just considered non-matching.
+ *
+ * This is ignored for asynchronous notifications (every notification is handled
+ * as a separate route). It is not an issue for our routes, as we ignore such
+ * notifications anyways. But importing alien IPv6 ECMP routes does not work
+ * properly with older kernels.
+ *
+ * Whatever the kernel version is, IPv6 ECMP routes are sent as multiple routes
+ * for the same prefix.
