What is the purpose of: Routes that have the following attributes shall not be aggregated unless the corresponding attributes of each route are identical: MULTI_EXIT_DISC, NEXT_HOP. The major vendor has a bug/request to add a knob to do the MULTI_EXIT_DISC part (CSCds88309). The only reason for the second part I have heard has to do with RPF (can't recall details). But basically I see no reason for doing either part and I don't think any implementations do either anyway. I propose that the reason for these limits be added to the text or remove the text altogether. Also, is shall not == MUST???
