Dave,
I would assume that "old" route-refresh is soft-reconfiguration,
and that "new" route-refresh is dynamic route-refresh.
I get the following output with 12.1(12) though:
Rack8R4#sh ip bgp nei 170.8.2.254 | in refresh
Route refresh: advertised and received(new)
There is no mention of "old" refresh in the output, and I cannot
find a reference on CCO to it. I'll keep you posted if I find out any
more info though.
