I'm using FreeBSD with zebra software but I never had a problem using it =
on IPv6, I also use FreeBSD with zebra on a EBGP connection on IPv4.

  I do not have personal experience with Zebra on FreeBSD but, on the =
Zebra=20
  mailing list, you can clearly see there are far more FreeBSD users =
than Linux=20
  ones so I doubt that Zebra is much worse on FreeBSD.

  We use Zebra for default-free routers on the IPv4 Internet. The 6 bone =
is a=20
  very small experiment when you compare it to the always-changing 100k =
routes=20
  of the IPv4 Internet.
