Nicolas,

This would be slick if it acted like a route-server.  It only shows your
selected best path from your border router(s) though.

route-server.ndsoftwarenet.net> sh ipv6 bgp 2001:4f0::1
BGP routing table entry for 2001:4f0::/35
Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
  Not advertised to any peer
  13944
    3ffe:81f1:0:2::1 from 3ffe:81f1:0:2::1 (62.4.18.114)
    (fe80::260:97ff:fe0c:9803)
      Origin IGP, metric 800, localpref 100, valid, internal, best
      Community: 65526:502 65526:511 65526:521 65526:900 65526:1000 65526:1500

I really appreciate your taking the time to modify the zebra code and
would like to see a patch against the latest CVS posted to the Zebra
list.

I know that you peer with multiple other people that you should be seeing
alternate paths to the above route via but, the route-server doesn't know
about them.

If you want to see what I mean about the typical route-server showing
multiple paths, telnet to route-views.oregon-ix.net and look up the ipv4
prefix of your choice.

I don't know of anyone else running a telnet accessable route-server for
v6 but, there are several people running my MRLG code with public access.

You can see an example at http://nitrous.ipv6.enterzone.net/
