RFC 8950-style IPv4 next hops on regular IPv6 EBGP sessions #1565

Open ipspace opened 5 days ago

ipspace commented 5 days ago

1563 that tries to fix the edge case of "unnumbered IPv4, numbered IPv6" (#1562) forced me to realize how complex this particular can of worms is:

We have to decide whether to support RFC 8950 over regular IPv6 BGP sessions (and do all the above changes) or whether to say "that does not work, you must use IPv6 LLA sessions" and add a corresponding error to the BGP code.

I'd say let's try and see what breaks: https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/pull/1569

I tested the platforms I have access to, seems to work fine (with some minor tweaks to the templates in case of EOS)
