The FPC might crash due to the IFL index corruption when IPv6 traffic goes through the IRB interface

In IPv6 scenario, if the IPv6 traffic is coming in an IRB interface and triggering ICMPv6 error packet with the error type of 'MTU exceeded' or 'redirect', and the ICMPv6 error packet is sent out a different IRB interface than the incoming IRB interface, the index of the IRB logical interface (IFL) might be corrupted. The subsequent configuration change (e.g. deactivating/activating, deleting or changing interface configuration) might cause the crash of the FPC hosting the corrupted IFL index. The traffic null route also might be seen on the affected FPC.

PS over rLT doesn't work on MPC7/9; PS over LT for the same scenario works;

RLT interface setup was broken. By design, RLT interface is supposed to have a different L1 node and a different stream other than the tunnel stream. This is mentioned in the design spec of RLT and the source code as well. However, on WindSurf/Scuba, RLT interface continued to be mapped to same Tunnel stream and then on EA it did not even get setup. This issue is fixed now.

MX480 - RR does not release EVPN Type 2 MAC+IP route from RPD when Advertise NLRI has 2 MPLS labels and Withdrawal NLRI has 1 MPLS label

The issue here is that BGP withdrawal for type-2 MAC+IP routes having a single label is not processed if the advertisement of the same MAC+IP rt had 2 levels. The reason is in evpn_sockaddr structure we have field nlri length which is included in the rt prefix. But in this case the Advertisement and Withdrawal NLRI lengths will be different as the no of labels in those 2 rts are different. As a result when withdrawal of the route is received, rt lookup fails as the advertisement and withdrawal prefix values will be different. For type-2 MAC+IP rt, the key for the prefix is rt-type + RD + mac_addr_len + mac_addr + ip_addr_len + ip_addr. ESI and labels are the rt data attributes and are not part of the key. Fix is to update the type-2 evpn_sockaddr NLRI length to have only the prefix key length instead of having the actual NLRI length.
