It should say:
If, due to the limits on the maximum size of an UPDATE message (see Section 4), a single route doesn't fit into the message, the BGP speaker MUST NOT advertise the route to its peers and MAY choose to log an error locally.
Notes:
The Normative text should be "MUST NOT", and not "MUST not" -- both words should be capitalized.
