[j-nsp] Prepending customer AS results in AS23456

[Markus]

PS: On a second thought, of course as-path-prepend will make the session 
get dropped by the remote router, because my AS is not first in the path 
anymore. My mistake, so please ignore that.

I checked some more looking glasses in the meantime and I can see 
my-upstream my-asn 222222 at some of them. Only one looking glass showed 
me my-upsteam my-asn 23456, so I'm thinking maybe everything is fine and 
only this particular LG cannot display 4-byte ASN and uses 23456 instead?

Sorry for the noise in that case. :)
