In RFC1657 (the PS), we have:
bgp4PathAttrAtomicAggregate OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
lessSpecificRrouteNotSelected(1),
lessSpecificRouteSelected(2)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Whether or not the local system has
selected a less specific route without
selecting a more specific route."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 9 }
I think the description of this variable should be:
"Whether or not a system has selected a less specific route
without selecting a more specific route."
The information you want to retrieve is:
"Does this path have the atomic aggregate attribute set?"
not
"Did I set the atomic attribute attribute on this path?"
This should be fixed before going to full standard on the MIB.
