No! Some boxes have Quagga, some - Bird, not together of course.

The prefixes from the global IPv6 routing table. It should be one
routing entry per route, but have the lot of totally same route strings.

I checked - no, but why a lot of routing entries, even if loop?

Which logs can explain something?

P.S. It seems if there is more IPv6 traffic - there is faster growth of
routing table.
