Ciao Tore, if I am not mistaken this is rather easy and "standard":
- Router knows a.b.c.d/x is supposed to be routed via 2001:db::1 - Router can lookup the mac address of 2001:db::1 (usual icmp6) - Router sends packet for a.b.c.d/x towards mac address of 2001:db::1 That's it. Cheers, Nico p.s.: The first few weeks it feels like magic, the following years that method feels like AMAZINGLY USEFUL magic ;-) Tore Anderson <t...@fud.no> writes: > * Jay Hanke >> Has anyone implemented lab or production IPv4 next hops over an IPv6 >> only IX vlan with BIRD as the route server? >> >> I'm interested to hear your experiences.
