From eecc3f02e41bcb91d463c4c1189fd56bc44e6514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Rammhold Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 16:17:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Babel: Implement IPv4 via IPv6 extension (RFC 9229) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The patch implements an IPv4 via IPv6 extension (RFC 9229) to the Babel routing protocol (RFC 8966) that allows annoncing routes to an IPv4 prefix with an IPv6 next hop, which makes it possible for IPv4 traffic to flow through interfaces that have not been assigned an IPv4 address. The implementation is compatible with the current Babeld version. Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen for early review on this work.
