Correct, when I configured a LL address on the loopback interface it is picked up by bird. But does that make sense? A stub interface does not send packets, so why does it need a LL address?
Not really. It is just an unintended result of chosen implementation decisions, same as in unnumbered PtP thread:
So should we change the behavior to allow stub interfaces without LL address? Patch? 😉
