# Notably, it makes it impossible for NetworkManager to do connectivity

# check on a newly arriving default route (it starts with a higher metric

# commit 230450d4e4f1 ('sysctl.d: switch net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter from 1
ef8af3

ef8af3
# for historic reasons. Let's override it if we're doing connectivity
