Hi All!

I'd like to ask for help with some strange issue.
I have a L2TP tunnel between two routers. Both routers are
running on bird 1.4.5 and CentOS.
L2TP tunnel has /30 addressing.

For some strange reason bird does not install next-hop
received by BGP:

bird> show route 185.61.136.0/22 all

Please advice.
