Disable multipath for links by default

[GektorUA]

Is there any possibility to make by default disable state for multipath links, when they appear in system?

Hi Dmitry,

Are you talking here about not having to do:

ip link set dev <iface> multipath off

but have this behaviour by default when using the fullmesh path manager?

If yes, no, we cannot change the default behaviour. Maybe best to monitor new interfaces (via Netlink, similar to ip monitor but just for the new interfaces) and set the proper flag when a new interface has been created. (Or use the Netlink PM, e.g. with mptcpd to have more controls)
