I created this script as a really ugly patch that allows my customers to announce their ipv6 routes via BGP and let it work until the real IPv6 nexthops will be correctly resolved.
It uses BGP MED (1 to 254) to choose the preferred path in case of multiple links/routes.
I know it’s extremely ugly, but it just works.
