Once upon a time, William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> said:
Nevertheless, in the protocol's design, the one expressed in the RFC's, AS path length = distance.
The RFC doesn't make any equivalence between AS path length and distance. You are the one trying to make that equivalence, but that's not how BGP is used on the Internet. You're about 30 years too late to have any influence on that. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
