It was clear for me. I checked route refresh specification and it
seems to be pretty easy to implement (at least 'the requesting side'
of it), therefore i hope we can implement it soon.

BTW, what kind of user interface would be useful for you?

- per protocol request for route refresh

- something like 'configure' but with route refresh instead
of protocol restart? it should ignore, report or restart peers
that does not support router refres?
