Ethern,

Thans for the remark, however I do not think it helps much. It is not
the Cisco who is announcing 0.0.0.0 as nexthop, but the Juniper. So in
fact, the correct thing would be that AS3265 fixes his sessions with 
others to announce no-nexthop for IPv4 (or his shared medium address if 
that fails).

I spoke with Juniper folk at a meeting yesterday and it has been fixed
in 5.2, which the above 2001:7F8:1::A500:3265:1 router does not run
(yet).

I am closing this matter as it appears to be a known bug.

groet,
Pim
