[Netkit.users] IPv6 Quagga routing deamons RIPng/OSPFv6

[Massimo Rimondini]

Dear Rui,

unfortunately, this issue has been very recently reported (see here: https://github.com/maxonthegit/netkit-uml-filesystem/issues/8).

In a previous email of mine, not appeared on the mailing list, I have diagnosed the following:

> According to the logs, Zebra is unable to insert a new route into the FIB:
>
>> netlink-cmd error: invalid argument, type=RTM_NEWROUTE (24), seq=6, pid=0

To some extent, this seems to be related with this report: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/19226 (and there are other similar ones regarding blackhole routes too).

For the moment there seems to be no better workaround than upgrading Quagga in the Netkit filesystem.

Regards,
Massimo
