Re: OSPF for IPv4 over IPv6 only?

I was facing the same issue before, and unfortunately, RFC 5838 explicitly forbids IPv4 over IPv6 for OSPF.

Well, we could add 'extended next hop' option to override it, even if it would be non-standard. It is rather small deviation.

That would be amazing. It might also give a good testbed to write a follow up RFC on it later, in case there are others who also want to run their core IPv4 free.

I also thought about 'integrated-OSPFv3', where both IPv4 and IPv6 ranges are propagated in one instance, but that seems like much larger deviation.

After reading RFC5838, I absolutely agree with you. -- Sustainable and modern Infrastructures by ungleich.ch
