It supports 32 bit AS Numbers, the current MIB doesn't as it says:

  bgpPathAttrASPAth OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (2..255))
    [...]
    EAch AS is represented as a pair of octets according to the following
    algorithm:
      first-byte-of-pair = ASNumber / 256
      second-byte-of-pair = ASNumber & 255;

  [...]

   bgpPeerRemoteAs OBJECT-TYPE
     SYNTAX  Integer32 (0...65535)

Either one will fail for AS1.0 and everything beyond that.  The new draft has
an AS type that fixes this.
