For the list, as I mentioned in SIDR, the use of local-AS where the router has more than one local AS will generate AS_SETs in some implementations. In particular, implementations with gated lineages may do this. This is because in pretending to be another AS it's still necessary to throw the global and local ASes in the path to prevent loops in cases where the local AS on one router may not be configured consistently (global) AS-wide. In those implementations, a single AS is simply added prior to the global AS in the path as a sequence or all local ASes as a set. In another implementation, the local ASes are added as a sequence. Adding the additional AS to the path would still require an additional signature step in BGPSEC. Clearly this doesn't work for AS-sets. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
