The traffic routing to the destination prefix should be forwarded along the AS sequence in AS\_PATH. However, due to traffic redirection, route aggregation and etc., the AS path of forwarding and the AS\_PATH of BGP Update often do not match. The inconsistency leads to security risks such as black holes, loops in inter-domain forwarding, and the possibility of forwarding through malicious AS that source/upstream AS does not want to pass through.}, }
