+/**
+ * Query IPv6 routing table - BSD routing sockets version.
+ *
+ * We don't actually monitor the routing socket for updates, and
+ * instead query the kernel each time.
+ *
+ * We take a shortcut and don't read the reply to our RTM_GET - if
+ * there's no default IPv6 route, write(2) will fail with ESRCH
+ * synchronously. In theory it may fail asynchronously and we should
+ * wait for the RTM_GET reply and check rt_msghdr::rtm_errno.
+ *
+ * KAME code in *BSD maintains internally a list of default routers
+ * that it learned from RAs, and installs only one of them into the
+ * routing table (actually, I'm not sure if BSD routing table can
+ * handle multiple routes to the same destination). One side-effect
+ * of this is that when manually configured route (e.g. teredo) is
+ * deleted, the system will lose its default route even when KAME IPv6
+ * has default router(s) in its internal list. Next RA will force the
+ * update, though.
+ *
+ * Solaris does expose multiple routes in the routing table and
+ * replies to RTM_GET with "default default".
