Hi everyone,

I was reading  the ospv3 spec and this link https://networklessons.com/ospf/ospfv3-for-ipv4- and  was wondering if such features is supported in bird 2. Can we announce loopbacks via OSPFv3 and remove the need to use OSPFv2 and ptp subnets ? 

I see it as a good opportunity to reduce the usage of the IPv4 addresses if we can just advertise loopbacks...
