Hi, If we have just ipv6 address configured at the router R1 interface (IF1), then if i need to have a BGP peering sesssion between IPV6 router and an IPV4 router, then how the IPV4 socket will get connected to the IPV6 router (R1), because in the case of IPV4 router, while creating the socket we need to give the negibouring ip address(only IPV4 address), since my neighboring interface IP address is of IPV6 address it won't be possible for me to create an socket from IPV4 router to the IPV6 router. so my utlimate question is that it necessery to have an IPV4 address at the interface IF1 (IPV4 to IPV6 translated address).
