hi,
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-autoconf-considerations
sums up the competing drafts in this field... as far as i know there are an 
other
based on udp, and a 3rd based on icmp/nd... this later is available in junos 
for
example: 
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/bgp/topics/ref/statement/peer-auto-discovery.html
on the other hand, cisco nexus switches do the udp method:
https://developer.cisco.com/docs/cisco-nexus-3000-and-9000-series-nx-api-rest-sdk-user-guide-and-api-reference/latest/#!configuring-a-bgp-neighbor-ethernet-interface-under-a-vrf/configuring-a-bgp-neighbor-ethernet-interface-under-a-vrf
so for now, the whole topic is on the todo list 
https://github.com/rare-freertr/freeRtr/blob/master/todo.txt#L12 in 
freerouter until the big ones agree on the topic...
br,
cs
