1. Introduction
A method of managing a BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN) migration
is described in RFC 7705 [RFC7705]. Since it concerns the handling
of AS_PATH attributes, it is necessary to ensure that the process and
features are properly supported in BGPsec [RFC8205] because BGPsec is
explicitly designed to protect against changes in the BGP AS_PATH,
whether by choice, by misconfiguration, or by malicious intent. It
is critical that the BGPsec protocol framework be able to support
this operationally necessary tool without creating an unacceptable
security risk or exploit in the process.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
