Hello Anthony,

Currently, I’m using a dummy interface and adding the IPs they own as v4 /32 and v6 /128 and in combination with an export filter to only export /32 and /128 prefixes, this works great.

However, I was wondering if there is a way to configure BIRD so that for the IPs configured on the host it supplants the configured prefix with /32 and/or /128 allowing me to eliminate the dummy interface?

I think this would be quite an easy extension to the Direct protocol, something like the attached patch, adding the self option to it.

Disclaimer: This patch is atop master (which I happened to have checked out) and not much tested, just fastcoded, completely undocumented, and definitely not stable.
