  <listitem>
<para>next-hop gateway IP address for the left participant's connection
to the public network;
defaults to
<emphasis remap='B'>%direct</emphasis>
(meaning
<emphasis remap='I'>right</emphasis>).
If the value is to be overridden by the
<emphasis remap='B'>left=%defaultroute</emphasis>
method (see above),
an explicit value must
<emphasis remap='I'>not</emphasis>
be given.
If that method is not being used,
but
<emphasis remap='B'>leftnexthop</emphasis>
is
<emphasis remap='B'>%defaultroute</emphasis>,
the next-hop gateway address of the default-route interface
will be used.
The magic value
<emphasis remap='B'>%direct</emphasis>
signifies a value to be filled in (by automatic keying)
with the peer's address.
Relevant only locally, other end need not agree on it.</para>
