I don't understand why the 2nd router (62.4.18.114) don't send all
routes:

route-server.ndsoftwarenet.net> show ipv6 bgp summary
BGP router identifier 10.0.1.2, local AS number 65526
242 BGP AS-PATH entries
4 BGP community entries

I have in the both router (213.91.4.3 and 62.4.18.114):
neighbor 3ffe:81f1:0:2::2 route-server-client
neighbor 3ffe:81f1:0:2::2 transparent-as
neighbor 3ffe:81f1:0:2::2 transparent-nexthop

Thanks for the link but a looking-glass is limited.
