[6bone] zebra/bgpd/kernel sync

[kim@tac.nyc.ny.us (Kimmo Suominen)]

I've seen this happen occasionally, too, on its own.  But a sure way to
cause this problem seems to be restarting bgpd without restarting zebra.
Now I always make sure to

    kill bgpd
    kill zebra
    start zebra
    start bgpd

This problem did not exist with the earliest zebra version I've run...

Regards,
+ Kim

| Coming back to the original post, I too have seen Zebra forget to write
| routing updates to the kernel, so that the bgpd's view on the FIB was
| different to the kernel's view on the FIB. That sucked, and only an
| entire restart of bgpd solved this. I consider it a bug in zebra, but
| a rare one which only surfaced like, once in the last two years.
