6vPE enables the announcement of IPv6 VPN prefixes through an IPv4 BGP session. In this scenario, the next hop addresses for these prefixes are represented in an IPv4-mapped IPv6 format, noted as ::ffff:[IPv4]. This format indicates to the peer that it should route these IPv6 addresses using information from the IPv4 nexthop. For example: > Path Attribute - MP_REACH_NLRI > [...] > Address family identifier (AFI): IPv6 (2) > Subsequent address family identifier (SAFI): Labeled VPN Unicast (128) > Next hop: RD=0:0 IPv6=::ffff:192.0.2.5 RD=0:0 Link-local=fe80::501d:42ff:feef:b021 > Number of Subnetwork points of attachment (SNPA): 0 This rule is set out in RFC4798: > The IPv4 address of the egress 6PE router MUST be encoded as an > IPv4-mapped IPv6 address in the BGP Next Hop field. However, in some situations, bgpd sends a standard nexthop IPv6 address instead of an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address because the outgoing interface for the BGP session has a valid IPv6 address. This is problematic because the peer router may not be able to route the nexthop IPv6 address (ie. if the outgoing interface has not IPv6). Fix the issue by always sending a IPv4-mapped IPv6 address as nexthop when the BGP session is on IPv4 and address family IPv6. Link: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4798#section-2 Fixes: |

FRRouting
FRR is free software that implements and manages various IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It runs on nearly all distributions of Linux and BSD and supports all modern CPU architectures.
FRR currently supports the following protocols:
- BGP
- OSPFv2
- OSPFv3
- RIPv1
- RIPv2
- RIPng
- IS-IS
- PIM-SM/MSDP
- LDP
- BFD
- Babel
- PBR
- OpenFabric
- VRRP
- EIGRP (alpha)
- NHRP (alpha)
Installation & Use
For source tarballs, see the releases page.
For Debian and its derivatives, use the APT repository at https://deb.frrouting.org/.
Instructions on building and installing from source for supported platforms may be found in the developer docs.
Once installed, please refer to the user guide for instructions on use.
