<span class="diff-html-added"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;background:silver;mso-highlight:silver">RFC4271, If the NEXT_HOP attribute of a BGP route depicts an address that is not resolvable, or if it would become unresolvable if the route was installed in
the routing table, the BGP route MUST be excluded from the Phase 2 decision function. Actually, BGP protocol is implemented this option. I notice that resolvable is checked with “rt->attrs->dest == RTD_UNICAST” , that mean the check is depend on the reachability
of route for NEXT_HOP. However, NEXT_HOP is a host address, not a subnet address, the resolvable checking in VRF is depending on ARP/NDP result for NEXT_HOP, if NEXT_HOP cannot be resolved for MAC, it should be unresolved.
