On R11, the same route is prepended with the sub-AS (64706) to which R10 belongs:
Note that R11, while in a different sub-AS, is in the same confederation as R10. Within a confederation, routers can
“see” other sub-AS’s and the sub-AS numbers appear in curly braces ({}) in the path display.
On R13, which is not part of the confederation, the as-path now shows only the AS number of the confederation:
Note As shown in the example outputs for R9 and R11, the next hop, local pref and
MED values are passed unchanged through routers in the confederation. The
peer-group configuration must include the multihop parameter so that the next
hop value is passed through the routers. In the above BGP confederation example,
the multihop parameter should be specified for R11.
