In RTR, a client can request to only receive the changes that
happened since the last version of the data it had seen. This
option sets how many change sets the server will at most keep.
If a client requests changes from an older version, it will get
the current full set.
Note that routers typically stay connected with their RTR server
and therefore really only ever need one single change set. Addi-
tionally, if RTR server or router are restarted, they will have
a new session with new change sets and need to exchange a full
data set, too. Thus, increasing the value probably only ever in-

Should we just set to 1, for instance, to conserve memory? Technically, is it even possible a router would require a past set?
