## AI overview

The article recommends verifying support for IPv4 and IPv6 address families over EBGP sessions established between IPv6 link-local addresses, and points readers to a lab exercise for practice.

## Source excerpt

If you insist on building your network with EBGP as a better IGP, make sure your implementation supports running IPv4 and IPv6 address families over EBGP sessions established between IPv6 link-local addresses (the functionality lovingly called unnumbered EBGP sessions). Want to practice that neat trick? Check out the EBGP Sessions over IPv6 LLA Interfaces lab exercise.
