[rbridge] Consensus Call: V-field reversion

[Eastlake III Donald-LDE008]

Is there any objection to the following format:

                                 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
                                 | V | R |M|Op-Length| Hop Count | 
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
 |   Egress RBridge Nickname     |  Ingress RBridge Nickname     | 
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 

Where V = version, R = reserved, and M = multi-destination.

Donald

Right. (I'm generally using the somewhat less formal wording from the
minutes in these consensus checks.)

Thanks,
Donald

Minor nit to avoid ambiguity:

...MUST be _set to_ zero...
