[j-nsp] Maximum AS PATH length

[Edwin Lok]

Hi,

Recently that was a case of an exceptionally long ASPATH being advertised in the 
internet.

Jan 30 18:34:51 EST: %BGP-6-ASPATH: Long AS path 6461 3356 6770 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282
8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282 8282

Cisco has a way to limit the maximum as-path received. Is there a similar 
command in Junos to do this? And will the router have any issue with this 
abnormally long AS PATH advertisements?
