BGP LS IPv6 parsing #833

Open Tinusf opened 6 years ago

Tinusf commented 6 years ago

It seems that IPv6 BGP LS parsing is not yet supported, is that correct? Are there anyone working on it? If not, could you give me some pointers on where I should start to write the code myself?

Hi Tinusf,

Thanks for the help :) You can start by adding the v6 NLRI , which has the same structure as the v4 prefix NLRI but with different TLVs. You can find the NLRIs in lib/exabgp/bgp/message/update/nlri/bgpls/

For the rest you can add the missing TLVs in lib/exabgp/bgp/message/update/nlri/bgpls/tlvs/ and lib/exabgp/bgp/message/update/attribute/bgpls/

Just make sure you read the RFC carefully :-)

cheers
