Hi,
  How does one aggregate ASPATHS in a confederation environment.
  consider following aspaths
   [ ] denotes AS_SET
   () denotes CONFED_SEQ
   {} denotes CONFED_SET
   concatenation denontes AS_SEQ

  Suppose we have aspaths of contributors to an aggregate
   A1 : ( 500 400 ) { 600 700 }
   A2 : 900 901 [ 800 801 ]
   A3 : ( 500 400 )
   A4 : 900 901

  How should the aspath for the aggregate computed in such cases.

Thanks for any clarification.
