Thanks again, Mark. So I guess the short answer is that I can't infer anything about the location of physical connectivity having this level of information from the control plane. Is that a fair statement? What if the "Next Hop" is inside the neighbor AS. I know it is a rather odd and uncommon cas

What I ultimately want to determine, is the location of the AS connection. I know for example the router is in, say LA. If hot potato lets me to send the packet to the neighbor AS then they have an AS connection in LA, right? Going back to my example does the fact that the entry does not have 'i'

Thanks Mark for the reply. Let me try to check what I understood is correct. Does the 'i' on the left (status code) only shows whether the prefix belongs to this AS? What I want to figure out is if this two ASes (the owner of the router and and the first one on the AS-PATH) connect at the location

Hi Nanog, For a research I want to distinguish the external AS peering from "show ip BGP". In other words I want to see which entry show a path that immediately sends packets to another AS. My understanding is that *status code* shows if the route is internal, right? Does this mean if the *'i' *is
