With great sorrow

[bmanning@ISI.EDU]

I must remove our 6bone core node from service until I get a problem
resolved with the BGP code.  

The effect is that a directly connected IPv4 network shows this behaviour:  

BGP: no valid path for 198.32.64.0/24
BGP: nettable_walker 198.32.64.0/255.255.255.0 no best path selected
... neighbors marking the route transition ...
BGP: 198.32.146.18 send UPDATE 198.32.64.0/24 -- unreachable
BGP: nettable_walker 198.32.64.0/255.255.255.0 route sourced locally
... neighbors marking the route transition ...

This behaviour occurs every 40sec or so and all known attempts to 
stablize it while keeping the ipv6 code base intact have proven vain.

network 3FFE:800::0/48 and its downstreams will be offline for the
duration.

I am sorry. I am looking for other platforms to run the code on but it
will be a few days.
