      Currently MetalLB takes this parameter as /32 ip address from soure-address field from config map, but this would be very hard to configure for every speaker pod as source ip address would vary across the node.

      Hence soure-address should be changed into parameter like update-src so that it can consume /32 ip address or subnet CIDR or interface name. When subnet CIDR is provided, the speaker code would find its interface to retrieve /32 ip address and used as source address.

      Finally FRR router config should get rendered with this info if a value is provided for updateSrc.

      neighbor PEER update-source <IFNAME|ADDRESS>
