They will not appear in your BGP table. This means they will not be
sent to a neighbor or be sent to the routing table.

Subject: Re: Limiting the number of AS's in an AS Path...

Actually, will this command do anything more than prevent the routes
from entering the routing table?

For instance... Will I stop them from entering my BGP table and/or
being passed along to peers?

Also can this functionality be implemented on a per-peer basis or only
globally across all BGP peers? Seems like globally, but you know what
happens when you "assume" something.

Thanks,
Tony
