Functionality:
A route server MUST accept all UPDATE messages received from each of its clients for inclusion in its Adj-RIB-In.
These UPDATE messages MAY be omitted from the route server's Loc-RIB or Loc-RIBs, due to filters configured for the purposes of implementing routing policy.
The route server SHOULD perform one or more BGP Decision Processes to select routes for subsequent advertisement to its clients, taking into account possible configuration to provide multiple NLRI paths to a particular client as described in Section 2.3.2.2 or multiple Loc-
RIBs as described in Section 2.3.2.1.
