thanks a lot for that one. I hope i mentioned it in the cover letter.

You mean why advertised routes are using blackhole?

So i did not want to include the nexthop IP in the Advertised_Route
table if possible as that would just duplicate a lot of entries.
Because of this we would not have the nexthop IP readily available.

I then also assumed that BGP is mostly used together with
routing-protocol-redirect. In this case we already know the respective
IP of the LRP as that IP is also used for the redirect linux interface.

I therefor saw no real need to include the nexthop IP anywhere as we
already have it at the relevant locations. And the route type that best
matched the conditions of having a prefix, but no nexthop was blackhole.

If there is a need to have the nexthop IPs included in the linux routes
we could definately change that. During implementation i just did not
saw the need and took the simpler path.

Hope that clarifies this.

Thanks a lot,
Felix
