Neighbor output and JSON output different

[gedOHub]

I have noticed that output in JSON format differs from CLI output.

With command gobgp neighbor I'm getting information about two neighbors:

• 192.168.201.1
• fd11:11:a:aaa:e2dc::

[root@server1 ~]# gobgp neighbor
Peer                    AS     Up/Down State       |#Received  Accepted
192.168.201.1        61317 1d 02:50:38 Establ      |        0         0
fd11:11:a:aaa:e2dc:: 61317 1d 02:50:28 Establ      |        0         0

With command gobgp neighbor -j I'm getting information about one neighbor + additional information:

• fd11:11:a:aaa:e2dc::

gobgp neighbor command shows some of the response. '-j' option simply converts the response to json. No guarantee that '-j' option gives the same.

[nskalis]

but the number of neighbours listed in the json output is 1 and in the cli output is 2. how is this explained? @gedOHub did you figure it out maybe?
