Hi!

Sorry for the late answer. I have been experimenting with your patch 
and it seems that Quagga does not handle such routes. Do you have some 
patchset on top of Quagga? I am looking at 
28971c8cb1138700e87dc7da673e59b5596bb51b (which is fairly recent) and in 
zebra/rt_netlink.c, IPv6 routes are handled as IPv4 routes: multiple 
hops are added as attributes.

In Quagga, I do:

ipv6 route 2001:db8:97::/64 2001:db8:1::2
ipv6 route 2001:db8:97::/64 2001:db8:2::2

And I get:

r1(VTY)# show ipv6  route
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIPng,
        O - OSPFv6, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, A - Babel,
        > - selected route, * - FIB route

C>* ::1/128 is directly connected, lo
O   2001:db8:1::/64 [110/1] is directly connected, eth0, 01:52:42
C>* 2001:db8:1::/64 is directly connected, eth0
O   2001:db8:2::/64 [110/1] is directly connected, eth1, 01:52:37
C>* 2001:db8:2::/64 is directly connected, eth1
S>  2001:db8:97::/64 [1/0] via 2001:db8:1::2, eth0
                            via 2001:db8:2::2, eth1
K>* 2001:db8:98::/64 via 2001:db8:2::2, eth1
C>* 2001:db8:99::/64 is directly connected, dummy0
C * fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth1
C * fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth0
C>* fe80::/64 is directly connected, dummy0

The route is not installed in the kernel (not "*"):

The problem is the same with BIRD. The difference with IPv4 makes it 
difficult to factor the code between IPv4 and IPv6. What do you think?
