how are you going to set up the bgp session from the remote side to an
eui-64 auto configured address on your side?
best use static here. And make sure to disable RA (with fire, i.e. disable
send + receive + answering solicited requests) and EUI64. If it's a point
to point link, use a /126 or /127 netmask.
