Or how about an AS_PATH including the 4-byte ASN placeholder (23456) whose origin is a 2-byte OLD speaker?  E.g., AS_PATH = 1239 23456 1221 23456 23456 23456 12234.

line wrap!

good idea.  and you could do that in your lab using the openbgp and
quagga kits posted to the net today!  please tell us how it goes.
