Re: OT: GS Archives Search

Simple reason - prefixes are passed on through the bestpath selection process
where the best one is chosen based on attributes. RT is a community, which is
an attribute. This means that given two prefixes with different RTs would be
treated as equals when it comes to bestpath selection. With RD we extend the
prefix space to 86 bits and then use those for comparison instead of 32bit
ones.
