Re: RA learned prefix added to routing table is not deleted on ra route flush

Thanks, Marc for the response.  However, the route was created because of
the prefix that was received in the RA. Hence it should be marked as "ra"
too. I feel that makes more sense. We will be able to correctly identify
all the routes that were added due to a received RA.
