Hi guys,

Ipv6 and other address families are under development. We have already designed the data structures for them as you can 
see from the documentation, but it's just some testing code and not stable and we are not doing them after careful 
consideration.
But at last, they will come out.

Currently, yabgp does not support IPv6 address family. We only support IPv4 now.

Seriously guys.  It's 2015.  We really don't care what you hack for your own use - but publicly announcing stuff that 
doesn't have IPv6 support is getting kind of embarassing...

*especially* when it's a major vendor open-sourcing their code. (I'm still willing to cut a *little* slack for "two 
guys and a stack of empty pizza boxes" software....)
