--- Comment #1 from Alexander V. Chernikov <melifaro at FreeBSD.org> ---
IIRC gateway value is simply ignored in GENERIC kernel - the only thing that
code checks is the prefix.

This part has been changed in 13 - if a gateway is specified, then the route
gateway(s) are checked for the match.

I agree that 12 behaviour may look weird, however, that's what existed
historically. 

I'm not sure if we can change it in FreeBSD 12, as we need to preserve
compatibility any people may rely on this behaviour.


Re interface route: could you please clarify what do you think should be the
expected behaviour?
