Network topology :
------------------

PC1-----Router1------Router2-----InternetGateway---z
                   eth1   eth0

RIPng enabled on PC1, Router1, Router2
Router2 has a static IPv6 DG ( Default Gateway ) to InternetGateway
Router1 has no static IPv6 DG, and no kernel{learn} directive.

Router2=Ubuntu14.04 LTS, Router1=raspbian Wheezy, bird = last version,
compiled from sources
link-local addresses replaces with symbolic names ( ie [fe80::Router1] )

Hi Olivier,

I failed to reproduce the metric 1024. Can you please send a log file from Router2?

Did you try commented out the learn directive in protocol kernel? Did the metric 1024 disappear?

Probably not.
