These two things should be stored right now. Existing implementation is
quite a mess, but we definitely want to remember origin of each route
in "protocol" and another flags, they are of common interest.


> AutonomoueFlag, AdvPreferredLiftTime and ValidLifeTime

ValidLifeTime is "expires" on this route.

What's about AdvPreferredLiftTime I am puzzled a little,
preferred time is not an attribute of a prefix at all,
it is attribute of address, is not it? Unless the prefix is used
to install local address it does not make sense, right?
