This document updates RFC 4271 and proscribes the use of the AS\_SET and AS\_CONFED\_SET types of path segments in the AS\_PATH. This is done to simplify the design and implementation of BGP and to make the semantics of the originator of a route clearer. This will also simplify the design, implementation, and deployment of various BGP security mechanisms.}, }
