Description

RFC5549/RFC8950 specifies a way of announcing IPv4 routes using IPv6 next-hops, allowing networks and IXPs to remove IPv4 link addressing. There is a working group at Euro-IX that aims to test interoperability of RFC8950 implementations and lay out the basics of its usage in an IXP environment. There are also a handful of IXPs already testing RFC8950 route servers.
