This is so that when a router receives a route it learned via BGP, it sets
itself as the "next-hop" attribute. So that when this route is passed on,
in iBGP for example, the next-hop is that of itself and not the external
neighbor. This is important, because a router will invalidate a route if
it can not reach the "next-hop".
