RE: ASPATH Loop

["Ivan Pepelnjak" <ip () ioshints info>]

Multiple discontiguous copies of an AS number in the AS-path can also be
caused by the "original" Cisco IOS "local-as" feature, but in that case the
AS number in the middle would be fixed.

And there's always the AS-path prepending. Cisco IOS allows you to insert
anything in the AS path.
