Hi
BIRD supposes that PtMP interfaces are non-broadcast and send Hellos
as unicast to configured neighbors. That is how it is specified in RFC 2328:
On Point-to-MultiPoint networks, a router sends Hello Packets to
all neighbors with which it can communicate directly. These
neighbors may be discovered dynamically through a protocol such
as Inverse ARP (see [Ref14]), or they may be configured.
You can try to use PtP mode, that uses mulicast Hello and i think we do
not limit it to one neighbor.
