I am interested to hear whether the strictness of the ipv6_classify(ip_addr *a) function would be considered a "bug" or a "feature", but from what I can tell, quagga and openbgpd do not classify addresses in such a strict fashion, and this can produce problems in mixed environments where quagga/openbgpd peers may try and send such routes to bird6.
Perhaps any address that is not link-scoped should be implicitly classified as global? At the very least, receiving a "bogus route" should not result in all existing routes from that peer being dropped.
I am not sure about the classification of such strange routes, but it definitely shouldn't affect other routes from that peer. I will check that. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
