BGP4+ overview
The implementation of IPv6 supports multi protocol BGP (MBGP) extensions, which allow IPv6 BGP
(known as BGP4+) to distribute routing information for protocols such as IPv4 BGP. The supported
protocols are identified by address families. The extensions allow a set of BGP4+ peers to exchange
routing information for multiple address families and sub-address families.
IPv6 MBGP functions similarly to IPv4 MBGP except for the following enhancements:
• An IPv6 unicast address family and network layer reachability information (NLRI).
• Next hop attributes that use IPv6 addresses.
