In recent years there have been issues with memory allocation on
the order of path-length ~50. Similar to bogon filters, it is
recommended to take a survey of sane path lengths before and your
own needs before deploying. Potentially useful data in this
regard is tracked by [suprise] cymru

In cisco-land, the max as-length was an undocumented command until
last year or so. a popular value appears to be in the 40-50 range
from folks I know using it.
Cheers,
