+ BGP roles are a mechanism for route leak prevention and automatic route
+ filtering based on common BGP topology relationships. They are defined
+ in <rfc id="9234">. Instead of manually configuring filters and
+ communities, automatic filtering is done with the help of the OTC

+ The same attribute is also used to automatically detect and filter route
+ leaks created by third parties.
+
+ This option is valid for EBGP sessions, but it is not recommended to be
+ used within AS confederations.

+ Possible <cf><m/role-name/</cf> values are: <cf/provider/,
