Akamai Technologies Nvidia Hostinger BGP [RFC4271], was originally designed to provide reachability between domains and between the edges of a domain. As such, BGP assumes the next hop towards any reachable destination may not reside on the advertising speaker, but rather may either be through a router connected to the same subnet as the speaker, or through a router only reachable by traversing multiple hops through the network. Because of this, as per [RFC4291] - BGP does not recognize IPv6 link-local addresses, as a valid next hop for the forwarding purposes. This draft standardizes the operation of BGP over a point-to-point link using link-local IPv6 addressing only.
