Re: Order of ASes in the BGP Path

Legend: {} denotes the sequence, while [] denotes the set

Path {1 2} [3 4] {5}

As I understand the specs, that is -not- allowed.  an unordered set
can appear only as the _last_ element of the AS path list.

Yes, I understand that right now it is not possible to receieve or
generate such a Path, but i dont recollect the BGP draft precluding
this. Correct me if i am mistaken here.
