Sorry for bringing up this old thread but I noticed my interface was
defaulting to a "ptp" link type when being configured with a /30 prefix
which is not mentioned as a special case above.

I realize a /30 is a "normal" two-host network with /31 being somewhat of a
special case, but I want to make sure this is still expected behaviour
for BIRD.
