Subject: fa_type and fib_info - a question

Hello,
Can anybody assist on this IPv4 question:
Why does fib_alias contain an fa_type member and also fib_info contain
a fib_type member?  A fib_alias must refer to some fib_info object via
the fa_info pointer. Are there cases when fa_type can differ from
fib_type? or is it so only for some legacy reason?
