public class AsPathLimit
extends Object
implements Attribute
The AS_PATHLIMIT attribute is a transitive optional BGP path
attribute, with Type Code 21. The AS_PATHLIMIT attribute has a fixed
length of 5 octets. The first octet is an unsigned number that is
the upper bound on the number of ASes in the AS_PATH attribute of the
associated paths. One octet suffices because the TTL field of the IP
header ensures that only one octet's worth of ASes can ever be
traversed. The second thru fifth octets are the AS number of the AS
that attached the AS_PATHLIMIT attribute to the NLRI.
