+.B "\-ephemeral"
+The association with the peer is not intended to persist indefinitely.
+If a peer marked as ephemeral is killed, or the
+.BR tripe (8)
+daemon is shut down, send a
+.B bye
+packet to the peer so that it forgets about us; if a peer marked as
+ephemeral sends us a
+.B bye
+packet then it is killed (but in this case no further
+.B bye
+packet is sent). Peers not marked as ephemeral exhibit neither of these
+behaviours; each peer must have the other marked as ephemeral for the
+association to be fully torn down if either end kills the other.
