I beg to differ.

if you dont have all the sub-ASes in the bgp confederation peers, how
would you know if the routes coming via an AS are from outside or from
within the confederation?

i think you have to have all the sub-ASes listed in the bgp confed peers
(even if they are not adjoint)

see bgp case study:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/459/16.html#A23.0

RtC is not directly connected to AS70 but still has as70 in the bgp confed
peers statement, for routes coming from/via as70, how would rtc know if
its from within the confederation or outside, if it doesnt know who all is
in in the confederation?

regards,
Omer
