I setup a p2p /127 link and found that BGP would not peer over the link;
Changing to /126 resolved the problem. I never looked into it further
because I had intended to use /126 from the start. My guess is that
while BGP should be a unicast IP, Cisco's implementation uses an anycast
in some cases, disregarding the configured unicast address.

Just one practical example...



Sprint runs a /127 for my dual stack circuit with BGP; I know their side
is Cisco as is mine.
