Pipes and tables are originally supposed to form a tree, not a dag or even a cycle, you have to set filters in a way that it is a tree from a point of view of each route. You probably have filters on pipe from a local table to the collector table that accepts everything in and nothing out. In that case, if BGP protocol A receives a route, it is added to the local table of proto A, then it is propagated directly to the collector, also to the master table, from that it is propagated to local tables of other BGP protocols and from that again to the collector table (which forms a dag). You need to set filters on a way to the collector table that only routes received directly from a BGP protocols (not routes received through pipe from the master table) are propagated to the collector. BTW, there is not a much difference between polling the master table and the collector table, i don't see a point in that, unless you want do set a different filters. > 2°) Missing LL IPv6 addresses: > ------------------------------ > > I also have some problems with few IPv6 peers which seem not to send me > LL addresses. > > 2011-01-31 16:48:12 <ERR> R655687: Missing link-local next hop address, > skipping corresponding routes > 2011-01-31 16:48:12 <ERR> R655687: - route xxxx:yyyy::/32 skipped > > xxxx:yyyy::/32 being a regular IPv6 prefix. > > The weird thing is that this peering is also flapping...

You need option 'missing lladdr ignore' in BGP protocols.
