Wrong NHRP Resolution Reply packet from spoke to spoke when NHRP Authentication is enabled

[aapostoliuk]

Description

I have tested 6186368 in the lab wich was described in #16371. It works if VyOS as hub and Cisco as Spokes.
I added to my lab FRR as a Spoke with NHRP Authentication. And I got an issue.

1. I try to generate traffic from SPOKE (FRR) to SPOKE(CISCO)
2. At first everything went well. I saw NHR Traffic Indiation packets. NHRP Resolution Request packets. And NHRP Resolution Reply packets with code=Success.
3. But the last NHRP Resolution Reply packet which was sent from FRR Spoke to Cisco Spoke directly was problematic.
4. Cisco generated NHRP Error Indication Packet and did not add info to the routing table.

I have tested without NHRP Authentication and did not get this issue.

FRR HUB and CISCO SPOKE configuration exists in #16371

        chain OUTPUT {
                type filter hook output priority filter; policy accept;

}

How to reproduce

The main part of the lab exists in #16371
addition was described in the description part

Expected behavior

SPOKES must have direct conversations. It works without NHRP Authentication.

Actual behavior

Cisco SPOKE sends an NHRP Error Indication Packet as a behavior on receiving the NHRP Resolution Reply packet from FRR as a SPOKE. As a result, Cisco SPOKE does not add routes to its routing table.

Additional context

@dleroy @volodymyrhuti Can you look at it?

[aapostoliuk]

It seems that the issue is in a duplicate NHRP Authentication Extension field in this packet.

[donaldsharp]

To clarify this is not fixed by #16480 ?

[aapostoliuk]

#16480 does not fix this issue.
It fixes duplicating if FRR is a HUB. But if FRR is a SPOKE, then no.
