As shown in the above figure, CE 1 and CE 2 use the same AS number of 800. If AS number substitution
for CE 2 is configured on PE 2, and PE 2 receives a BGP update sent from CE 1, PE 2 replaces AS number
800 as its own AS number 100. Similar configuration must also be made on PE 1.

CAUTION:
Improper AS number substitution configuration may cause route loops; use this command with caution.

By default, BGP updates
carry private AS numbers.
Ignore the first AS number of eBGP route updates
Typically, BGP checks the AS_PATH attribute of a route update received from a peer. If the first AS number
is not that of the BGP peer, the BGP router discards the route update.
