Yes.
flat: every route gets "2" if the route is send to the kernel. This
avoids route changes just because the metric of a route changed and it
isn't necessary anyway.

correct: The metric on "ip route" is always the correct one.

approx: olsrd sets the correct metric but doesn't update because because
of route changes. So the metric value "ip route" is not necessarily
correct.
