Re: maximum-prefix of RPSL dictionary

[Petra Zeidler <]

Dear all,

Thus wrote Frank Bohnsack (frank.bohnsack@localhost):

> % rp-attribute: # maximum number of accepted prefixes,
> %               # peering will change to "shutdown" if the

I'd drop the ">". The "maximum" logically disallows the "more than" already.
You could use something like "prefix-count<=(integer[0, 65535])" if
you wanted to insist on not just a "=".

I think you want:
% import: from AS1
%         action maximum-prefix=1000; accept AS1

PS: anyone care to enlighten me why it's "afi" in the rpslng draft
and not just "af"? I wonder what the "i" in "afi" is for :-}
