Abstract:
   Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) [RFC4760] specifies that the set of usable
   next-hop address families is determined by the Address Family
   Identifier (AFI) and the Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI).
   The current AFI/SAFI definitions for the IPv4 address family only
   have provisions for advertising a Next Hop address that belongs to
   the IPv4 protocol when advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability
   Information (NLRI) or VPN-IPv4 NLRI.  This document specifies the
   extensions necessary to allow advertising IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI
   with a Next Hop address that belongs to the IPv6 protocol.  This
   comprises an extension of the AFI/SAFI definitions to allow the
   address of the Next Hop for IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI to also belong
   to the IPv6 protocol, the encoding of the Next Hop to determine which
   of the protocols the address actually belongs to, and a new BGP
   Capability allowing MP-BGP Peers to dynamically discover whether they
   can exchange IPv4 NLRI and VPN-IPv4 NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop.
