Hi Neil,
you are correct. You need this patch on top of BIRD 1.6 to have
working ECMP for IPv6. This patch is not currently merged, and we did
not get any feedback on it so far or an estimate when this will
happen. As you see, it's been a few months that it lies around here,
so I am not sure this
de our IPv6 ECMP fixes from
<1456142494-3822-1-git-send-email-mikhail.sennikovs...@profitbricks.com>
by chance?

makes me wonder if you guys would accept patches working around
this asymmetry for ECMP route in bird in order to have compliant ECMP
support in bird for IPv6 based on Ondrej Z.'s patch? If so, do you
have any constraints? What about bird 2?
(sorry for the bounce Ondrej.)

This sucks. I suppose this is merely a Linux "feature", than a bug in
bird. Also, as I take it, there is no way around this in bird? That
means ECMP with bird on IPv6 is basically useless currently.

only one of them.
Experimenting with "import all", "learn" etc. for the kernel protocol seems to
make no difference.
