A new bgp.advertise node attribute enables advertising IP routing table networks into BGP across most platforms. The bgp.originate attribute is now dual-stack and VRF-aware for IPv4/IPv6 prefix origination into per-VRF BGP instances. Static route support is extended to FortiOS, Nexus OS, Nokia SR OS, Nokia SR Linux, and OpenBSD (discard routes). EVPN/VXLAN-over-IPv6 is now supported on FRRouting, and OSPF area parameters work with BIRD. Junos gains BGP confederations and bgp.import for route importing into global and VRF BGP instances. Upgrade via pip3 install --upgrade networklab. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
