In your previous mail you wrote: * Iljitsch van Beijnum > The routing protocols use link locals, so they don't care. BGP cannot possibly resolve a link-local next-hop, can it? => the issue was addressed years ago but this carefully wording:
The link-local address shall be included in the Next Hop field if and only if the BGP speaker shares a common subnet with the entity identified by the global IPv6 address carried in the Network Address of Next Hop field and the peer the route is being advertised to. Regards [email protected] PS: this happened in the early days of both BGP v4 and IPv6: the issue was considered to be hairy and particular to IPv6 so we asked for a dedicated document which was published later as the RFC 2545. PPS: if you like it, please ask for a promotion to the Draft Standard status... -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
