I currently have a Nexus 7000 (n7000-s2-dk9.6.2.16.bin) that is trying to communicate with an ASR 1001-x (v03.16.07b.S). Both IPv4 and IPv6 are configured on the two routers. OSPFv2 handshakes without issues whereas OSPFv3 gets stuck on the Nexus in the EXSTART state (constantly cycles back to INIT, etc).

Looking at the states for both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 on the nexus, we get:

Have verified with both IPv4 and IPv6 that my MTUs are not mismatched (tried using ignore-mtu as well with no change). Looking at the logs on a particular handshake (its the same for all of them, just focusing on one for clarity) I get the following repeating over and over when talking to the non-BD/BDRs:
2020 Feb 7 17:30:09 core-sv7-nexus1 %OSPFV3-5-NBRSTATE: ospfv3-101 [25249] Process 101, Nbr xxx.xxx.103.250 on Vlan116 from EXSTART to INIT, ONEWAYRCVD

and talking to the DR/BDR I get the following (repeating over and over):
2020 Feb 7 17:30:09 core-nexus1 %OSPFV3-5-NBRSTATE: ospfv3-101 [25249] Process 101, Nbr xxx.xxx.103.248 on Vlan116 from TWOWAY to TWOWAY, ADJOK

After a couple days, I'm completely lost. At this point figured I'd ask around to see if anyone else knows or has seen this with OSPFv3...
