+	Specify whether each BFD interface should use a separate listening
+	socket bound to its local address, or just use a shared listening socket
+	accepting all addresses. Binding to a specific address could be useful
+	in cases like running multiple BIRD instances on a machine, each

 	Interface definitions allow to specify options for sessions associated
 	with such interfaces and also may contain interface specific options.
