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.}, }
