Metric on connections and magic 20000 value added












0














I have 3 types of network connection and I set manyally metric for each connection:




  1. LAN cable, metric = 1 - enp0s31f6,

  2. WiFi, metric = 100 - wlp2s0,

  3. 4G/LTE modem, metric = 1000 - wwp0s20f0u8c3.


The reason for setting of metric is that I want to prioritise my connectivity based on the list above (the modem connection is metered). I also set autoconnect priority for each connection but according to KDE#394364 this will not work as I expected so that’s why I tried to go the way by setting of the metric.



When each connection is activated, the system adds a strange value of 20000 to the metric.

This value 20000 is not added always, or to be more precise, it gets changed after some time to the value which I set for the particular connection.

Any idea why this is happening?
