+ Prefer global IPv6 address to link-local IPv6 address for immediate next
+ hops of received routes. For IPv6 routes, the Next Hop attribute may
+ contain both a global IP address and a link-local IP address. For IBGP
+ sessions, the global IP address is resolved (<ref id="bgp-gateway"

+ (<ref id="bgp-igp-table" name="igp table">) to get an immediate next
+ hop. If the resulting IGP route is a direct route (i.e., the next hop is
+ a direct neighbor), then the link-local IP address from the Next Hop
+ attribute is used as the immediate next hop. This option change it to
+ use the global IP address instead. Note that even with this option
+ enabled a route may end with a link-local immediate next hop when the
+ IGP route has one. Default: disabled.

For received routes, their <cf/gw/ (immediate next hop) attribute is
computed from received <cf/bgp_next_hop/ attribute. This option
