For IPv6 route advertisements, MP-BGP extensions should be used. Recent PR #578 does this; however it also inserts the IPV6 address in the NEXTHOP field. This causes gobgp to produce the following error:
I1212 05:06:46.172157 22013 network_routes_controller.go:332] Processing bgp route advertisement from peer
WARN[0019] the received Update message was treated as withdraw Key="fd00::9" State=BGP_FSM_ESTABLISHED Topic=Peer error="invalid nexthop address"
A recent PR in gobgp (osrg/gobgp#1893) does not produce he above error/warning for IPv6 addresses in NEXTHOP field; however, according to rfc4760, NEXTHOP is only for IPV4 addresses. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4760
Suggested fix: remove the IPV6 address insertion into NEXTHOP.
