.:ISTR that it's been changed.
.:
.:The real lesson is that RFC1771 is fairly obsolete. A revision is
.:almost done, and should be used as the definitive BGP reference:
.:http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-20.txt

.:You will find this much closer to real-world implementations
Excellent.
Thanks Howard.
