[rbridge] ????: ????: rbridge for ipv6 ?

[Ganesh CS]

Hi Yiou,
Per my understanding, within rbridge domain we should not be requiring a
separate routing protocol other than rbridge's own routing protocol for
rbridge reachability. However to advertise internal routes to outside of
the rbridge domain we may require a routing protocol.

Anyone on the list can correct me if I am wrong.
