Hello! Thank you for your contribution to Ubuntu.

If you would like this to be sponsored to Xenial, please edit the bug
description to follow the SRU bug template. More information can be
found here:

Additionally, I see in your debdiff there are multiple areas which still need to be filled in, or removed. Such lines include:
+## Description: add some description
+## Origin/Author: add some origin or author
+## Bug: bug URL

I recommend you read the DEP-3 standard, which provides a standard way
to fill out such a description: https://dep-
team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/

I am unsubscribing the Ubuntu Sponsors Team for now, please resubscribe
us when the changes have been made.

Thank you!

Title:
  Add support for custom protocols from rt_protos.d

Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in iproute2 source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  FRR puts its own proto numbers when inserting a route, example:
  $ ip route
  [snip]
  2.2.2.0/24 via 3.3.3.2 dev eth2  proto 188  metric 20 

  iproute2 defines some protocols, but not all:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/tree/etc/iproute2/rt_protos

  A patch has been pushed upstream so that external applications can define their protocols numbers:
