| 52 | | When the client's announce URL contains *compact=0* the tracker MAY |
| 53 | | return the peers using the original format described in [#BEP-3]_. |
| | 52 | By including *compact=0* in the announce URL, the client advises the |
| | 53 | tracker that is prefers original format described in [#BEP-3]_, and |
| | 54 | analogously *compact=1* advises the tracker that the client prefers |
| | 55 | compact format. However the *compact* key-value pair is only |
| | 56 | advisory: the tracker MAY return using either format. *compact* is |
| | 57 | advisory so that trackers may support only the compact format. |
| | 58 | However, clients MUST continue to support both. |
