Section 1.,last para says:
Assume a BGP speaker in AS65002 has received an advertisement for | 10.1.1.0/24 from a BGP speaker in AS65001, with an AS Path of {65000, | 65001}.
It should say:
Assume a BGP speaker in AS65002 has received an advertisement for | 10.1.1.0/24 from a BGP speaker in AS65001, with an AS Path of {65001, | 65000}.
Notes:
Rationale:
AS Path presentation should consistently follow the common
practice for BGP-4.
RFC 5123 mixes standard and reversed AS Path notation.
To avoid confusion, all reversed AS Path notations should
be corrected.
For clarity, further instances of this issue in Sections 1.2,
1.4, and 2.2 are addressed in separate Errata Notes.
