BGP Attribute - ORIGINATOR_ID

ORIGINATOR_ID is a optional nontransitive attribute. Used by Route Reflectors to prevent loops. The ORIGINATOR_ID is a 32 bit value created by RR, is a router ID of the originator of the route in the local AS. 

If originator sees his router ID in ORIGINATOR_ID knows that a loop has occured, then the update is ignored.
