Routing protocol should be responsible for removing affected routes from FIB. For example quagga should remove all routes learned via particular ospf neighbour when that neighbour is not reachable anymore due to link goes down. But in case when no daemons are used (`static' and `connected' are also `routing protocols'), kernel should be responsible for doing that. > > I've checked that Cisco routers remove route from FIB when interface > link goes down.
