support for VRFs was introduced in 4.3 and improved upon through
4.13, which is the version most used in FRR testing (as of June
2018). Additional background on using Linux VRFs and kernel specific
features can be found in

A separate BGP TCP socket is opened per VRF. Kernel support for VRFs was introduced in 4.3, but there are known issues
in versions up to 4.15 (for IPv4) and 5.0 (for IPv6). The FRR CI system
doesn't perform VRF tests on older kernel versions, and VRFs may not work
on them. If you experience issues with VRF support, you should upgrade your
kernel version.
**Important note** as of June 2018, Kernel versions 4.14-4.18 have a .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`
known bug where VRF-specific TCP sockets are not properly handled. When
running these kernel versions, if unable to establish any VRF BGP
adjacencies, downgrade to 4.13. The issue was fixed in 4.14.57, 4.17.9
and more recent kernel versions.
