In Cisco IOS, this falls under the BGP decision process in selecting a
route. So in an indirect way, this is already implemented. To be more
exact in terms of the RFC, I suppose a match clause could be implemented
based on path length, but this can be done already with a regular
expression. Either way, the capability is there.
