I am struggling to see the the use of this command. Here is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong
1.) When you use confederations, the Sub AS's are removed from the AS path when advertising to eBGP peers. If Sub AS's are private then they wont be seen by the eBGP neighbor by default. 2.) The "remove-private-as" does not remove the private AS if there are non-private AS's already in the AS Path. For example if the AS Path was (123 7018 65055) and 65055 was the AS of the router advertising to EBGP with the remove-private-as option, it would NOT remove the 65055 because of the 123 and 7018 present in the AS PATH. So my question is in what circumstance would the remove-private-as be useful?
