The paper said:
Under a MinRouteAdver timer, a node must process all(n-1) announcements
from its neighbors before it can send a new update.

Does it mean the function of MinRouteAdver is to wait all the other update
about a prefix before sending it? and 30 seconds is considered long enough
to guarantee it.
