The RFC6396 specifies the header for RIB-entry mrt-records like this:

        0                   1                   2                   3
        0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                         Originated Time                       |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |      Attribute Length         |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                    BGP Attributes... (variable)
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

But the textual explanation (link) does not specify how and in which order the BGP Attributes appear. I assume that they mean path attributes of the BGP-4 standard. As a result I am not sure how they will be represented as no further information is provided, and no link to a section of the BGP-4 standard is provided leading me to second guess my assumption.

Therefore I want to know: How and in which order are the BGP attributes to be represented to be consistent with RFC6396 (Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) Routing Information Export Format)?
