Manual:OSPFv3 with Quagga

In this example we demonstrate interoperability of MikroTik 3.x with Quagga in multi-area OSPF setup with load balancing. RouterOS version 3.16 and Quagga 0.99.11 are used respectively.

Note that Quagga's ospf6d is relatively little used in production envoiroment, so it could have some problems remaining. Use it at your own risk!
