Hello,

First I would like to thank you for this amazing software!

I am running Bird 2.0.7 as RR for L3VPNs and on one RR the OSPF metric 
for the BGP NH is different than what's seen in BGP as shown below.

BGP PREF/METRIC = (100/61580) , OSPF_METRIC = 61480.


bird> sh route 10:10 94.207.96.0/19 all primary
Table vpntab4:
10:10 94.207.96.0/19 unicast [ROUTER1 2022-09-28 00:10:09 from 
10.100.186.1] * (100/61580) [AS15802i]
         Type: BGP univ
         BGP.origin: IGP
         BGP.as_path: 15802
         BGP.next_hop: 10.100.184.8

bird> sh route 10.100.184.8/32
Table master4:
10.100.184.8/32      unicast [OSPF 2022-09-29 12:33:35] IA (150/61480) 
[10.100.186.5]

After restarting the BIRD OSPF adjancency the BGP metric changed to 61480.


Any help in understanding the issue would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
