Hey Wido,

thank you. That solves a lot of trouble in my head. :) The documentation is
not that clear.

IPv6 ist a must have for us

We are using Juniper MX gear as gateways. I just have to check if we can do
SLAAC with our current JUNOS version and setup as we are using EVPN+MPLS
with all-active multihoming on the gateway side.
