I know you gave some examples, but what is the behavior you are trying to cause? What is the desired effect of removing AS200 from the path? I suppose I'm wondering if there's a different way to solve the problem, and I don't yet really understand the problem. By understanding the problem, I mean what the reason is you want to remove an AS. Actually, there may be some ways to do it with AS-SET aggregation, but these tend to be ugly. > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Nigel Roy" >To: >Cc: "fwells12" >Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 7:33 AM >Subject: Re: BGP regular expressions > > >> I haven't seen anyone else answer so I thought I would put you out of your >> misery. >> >> In short no you can't.
