Usage Guide:
Abundant route update due to unstable route could be reduced with route dampening technology, of
which the algorithm is lay penalty on the route when the route fluctuates, and when penalty exceeds
the restrain border this route will no longer be advertised. The penalty value will be reduced by time
by the half-life index regulation if the route keeps stable and finally be advertised again when the
penalty falls below the border or the restrain time exceeds the maximum restrain time. This
command is for enabling/disabling the route dampening and configuring its parameters.
Example:
Create a confederation, ID is 600, add 100, 200, 100.300 members.
