BIRD - iBGP between RS over IPv6 lead to crash (segfault)

[Javor Kliachev]

Hello Ondrej,

Thank you very much for the provided support.

The issue with not establishment of iBGP between RS-RS over IPv6 has been caused by wrong FW config.

Thanks once again and have a nice day!

Best~

Hello

Cannot replicate that, works for me. Do you have the problem with both
direct / multihop mode? Can you send me the capture? If you enable
'debug all' for sessions, what is in logs?
