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 francis.dup...@fdupont.fr 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 ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
