Can someone give me a clear explanation of the BGP Atomic Aggregate attribute?  
My understanding is that it is set when a router aggregates routes, propagates 
that aggregated route down stream, AND has the AS-SET command on the aggregate, 
then the atomic aggregate attribute is set.  So, what does this attribute do 
then?  Is it just telling routers that if there is another route with the same 
mask as the aggregate route, then prefer that route over the aggregate?  If so, 
then why is not also set without the AS-SET aggregate command?  Just trying to 
understand...

Thanks,
Vince Mashburn
