Re: BGP Local-AS

'no-prepend' prevents the 'local-as' AS from being
added to the path, but only for peerings "behind" the
'local-as' peering. From the outside, you will always
see the 'local-as'.

****

R1(AS1)--R2(AS23)--R3(AS23)--R4(AS4)--R5(AS5)

Network XX on R1, Network YY on R5.

Assuming that R3's peering to R4 includes local-as 100

R1(AS1)--R2(AS23)--R3(AS23)--local-AS100))-R4(AS4)--R5(AS5)

R1 sees network YY with path 23 100 4 5.

with no-prepend on R3's peering to R4, R1 would see 23
4 5.

R5 sees network XX with path 4 100 23 1.
with no-prepend on R3's peering to R4, R5 still sees
the path as 4 100 23 1.

****

In this case, R1 and R2 are "behind the 'local-as'",
and may or not see the local-as in the path depending
on whether or not the no-prepend keyword is used. R4
and R5 are "outside the 'local-as'", and will always
see local-as, regardless of whether or not R3 is
configured with the 'no-prepend' keyword.
