Hi Ole, I really don't mind that you all derailed my discussion. I think a good design discussion is a good thing. Especially when the end result is a better product, or in this case, better integration between products. What I have found with respect to OSPFv3, is that the OSPF multicast packets

But this basically means that, for now, it won't be possible to create a BGP router with a combination of FRR and VPP doing both IPv4 and IPv6 with OSPF and BGP. Or do you see possibilities to make OSPFv3 work? Jan Hugo Prins On 04/11/2018 03:20 PM, Ray Kinsella wrote: > Hi Ole, > > I agree -

Hi Ole, I agree - but completely reinventing the wheel is not a the best course either. These are tried and tested implementations and are worth reusing, I do agree that integrating through the Linux Kernel is not ideal. We developed the router plugin to show that integration was possible we
