/**
 * This Class contains accessor and mutator methods for all properties defined in the CIM class Confederation as well as methods comparable to the
 * invokeMethods defined for this class. This Class implements the ConfederationBean Interface. The CIM class Confederation is described as follows:
 * 
 * The BGP speakers in an AS are required to be fully meshed. This can lead to a huge number of TCP connections per router. One way to reduce the
 * peering requirements is to use a confederation. A confederation effectively partitions one AS into a group of 'sub-ASs'. This enables all of the
 * benefits of IBGP to be applied inside the confederation, while enabling EBGP to be run between each confederation. It also enables certain BGP
 * attribute values to be preserved between confederations. However, to the outside world, the AS with its confederations appear to be a single AS.
