It's something a little bit different: I have a short prefix for a direct
static tunnel to NIST that I'm re-advertising through RIPng
The problem is a route aggregation one because NIST is advertising
longer prefixes. Somewhere in the routing cloud, the aggregation is wrong.

Things should be better when we'll be all runing an EGP.
I'm in vacation now, when I'll return, I will also shut down many tunnels
to simplify the routing in the 6-bone.
