Hi,
I did sent this message a week back but I could not see it in the mailing, 
moreover just now subscribed to this mailing list, so sending this again.
I’m seeing some issues with ospf adj over ptpnumbered/unnumbered interface. 
1. Forp2p connections, ospf should be sending only multicast packets 
toallospfrouters, but I see its sending to unicast address.
(From RFC “On physical point-to-point networks, theIP destination is always set 
to the address AllSPFRouters”)

2. Forptp over unnumbered interface, bird requires peer address configuration 
whichis not required from the ospf perspective. Because bird is using peer 
addressand sending unicast packets, bird cannot form multiple ospf adj over 
ptpunnumbered interface between 2 endpoints using same peer address.
Made some quick changes and have attached the patch thataddresses the issues. 
Relaxed the source ip address validation for ptp link inpacket.c for now. More 
validation can be added to make it complete.
Thanks and Regards,Senthil
