OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are similar but still to different to have a common source. We try to sync parts between the two daemons from time to time but in some parts the behaviour is to different so that syncing is almost impossible. I may sound like a broken record but we accept diffs. So if you think there are commits in ospfd that need to be synced over we will have a look at them. -- :wq Claudio
