John, Would it be possible to modify the peer flags? In the context of route servers, we operators have separate requirements to be able to view: adj-rib-in, per-peer loc-rib and adj-rib-out, with the possibility of a primary loc-rib (depending on implementation). This would break your suggested peer flags mechanism - or at least it would create a non-atomic signalling mechanism which would take up 50% of your proposed flag space to implement. Why not create a separate "RIB Type" flag and define a set of values associated with it?
