I took a quick look and I don't think it will work reliably:
/* The second case - ptp or ptmp neighbor */
if ((en->lsa.type == LSA_T_RT) && (par == oa->rt))
{
...
WALK_LIST(ifa, po->iface_list)
if (match_rtlink(ifa, rtl))
{
struct ospf_neighbor *m = find_neigh(ifa, rid);
if (m && (m->state == NEIGHBOR_FULL))
return new_nexthop(po, m->ip, ifa->iface, ifa->ecmp_weight);
}
return NULL;
This will find any ptp link that matches and several of them will match.
I still think the only reliable method that will work in any case
is the one we discussed earlier. It is much faster too.
