Statement: FRR should accept update with both global address and link-local
address in NEXT_HOP without any error and put it into Adj-RIB-In. If link-local
address is reachable (peer-to-peer link) then link-local address should be used

draft-white-linklocal-capability describes different scenario where BGP for
point-to-point links can use only link-local addresses in NEXT_HOP without need
for global addresses. This is nice scenario for data centers. However, scenario
which I describe refers to multihop sessions across the Inte

somehow related topic I see.. Would worth implementing
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-white-linklocal-capability for
Bird (FRRouting already has it), which might also be a step forward.
Thanks!

doesn’t make sense for remote side because they don’t share common subnet.
Belove how it looks like from FRR perspective.
