Abstract

This document discusses the issues of processing the AS_PATH attribute which provides sufficient information for constructing a graph of AS connectivity, and defines the detailed procedure of fragmenting or merging a sequence of AS PATH segments. This is necessary for the robust implementation of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the interoperation of vendors.
