At Hurricane, most of our IPv6 peerings are exchanging over IPv6 =
addresses.
In general, most routers work better if you run IPv4 peering on IPv4 and =
IPv6
peering on IPv6. In many cases, this is because the configuration files =
are less
confusing more than any underlying dependency in the router OS.
YMMV, but, my recommendation is to peer v6 on v6 and v4 o v4.
