in BGP-IPv6 sometimes contains just the global IPv6 address,
but sometimes it has to contain both global and link-local
IPv6 addresses. This option specifies what to do if BIRD have
to send both addresses but does not know link-local address.
This situation might happen when routes from other protocols
are exported to BGP, or when improper updates are received
from BGP peers. <tag/self/ means that BIRD advertises its own
local address instead. <tag/drop/ means that BIRD skips that
prefixes and logs error. <tag/ignore/ means that BIRD ignores
the problem and sends just the global address (and therefore
forms improper BGP update). Default: <tag/self/, unless BIRD
is configured as a route server (option <tag/rs client/), in
that case default is <tag/drop/, because route servers usually
does not forward packets ifselves.
