For a link that has only IPv6 addresses. - The Extended Next Hop capability is offered on every session over IPv6 whose families include IPv4 unicast, and used if the peer offers it too. Nothing to configure. - On such a session our IPv4 routes go out in MP_REACH_NLRI with the session's IPv6 address as next hop, and are withdrawn in MP_UNREACH_NLRI. Without the agreement they are not sent, as before. - IPv4 routes are read with an IPv6 next hop, global or global with link-local. - The kernel installer resolves an IPv4 route's IPv6 next hop like any other and installs it: by way of an IPv6 nexthop object, or with RTA_VIA where routes carry their own gateway. Tested against a real kernel in both modes, with a link-local next hop too, and in the lab against FRR and BIRD: the new `v6only` phase takes the IPv4 addresses off the exchange LAN, runs one IPv6 session with each router for both families, and pings IPv4 across. Sessions between link-local addresses are not supported yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
