Getting started with OSPFv3 and Bird 2.0.7

[Skyler Mäntysaari]

I noticed that after sending it, so my config right now is:

protocol ospf v3 ospfv3v6 {
        ipv6 {
                import filter internal_nets_v6;
                export filter internal_nets_v6;
        };

        area 0.0.0.0 {
                interface "wg0" {
                        type ptp;
                };
        };

}


It starts up and is filtering like it's supposed to but now I need to
figure out VyOS side as that's the one that's going to get it's routes
imported to Bird. Got any pointers on that?
