Subject: [PATCH pve-network v2 1/4] sdn: evpn: prepare IPv6 underlay support
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 13:06:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515110648.217493-2-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515110648.217493-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
Allow IPv6-capable underlays to be selected and IPv6 peers to be
configured. On a dual-stack underlay (every node carries both an IPv4
and IPv6 address) the EVPN session picks IPv6.
