To work properly rfc1863 requires also modified clients. Would be
interestung to know what this big global backbone is using.
We considered to implement rfc1863 in quagga (www.quagga.net) but
stopped when we saw that clients have to support rfc1863 as well. And
afaik no one of the big vendors does (or is even considering)
