I'll stop you here. You can't simply "synthesize" a socket unit for any
arbitrary program that uses a socket (regardless of the address family).
Socket units are specific to socket-activated services (which requires
code changes in the daemon itself) and per-connection spawning.

Based on a perusal of the manpage and source, Zebra appears to be
neither of these. So, you shouldn't be writing a socket unit for this
service.
