After you enable the BGP AS number substitution function, the PE re-advertises all routing information
to the connected CEs in the peer group, performing BGP AS number substitution based on the above
principle.

In

Figure 6-18

, both CE 1 and CE 2 use the AS number of 800. AS number substitution is enabled on

PE 2 for CE 2. Before advertising updates received from CE 1 to CE 2, PE 2 finds that an AS number
in the AS_PATH is the same as that of CE 2 and hence substitutes its own AS number 100 for the AS
number. In this way, CE 2 can normally receive the routing information from CE 1.

AS number substitution also applies to a PE connecting multiple CEs through different interfaces,
such as PE 2 in

Figure 6-18

, which connects CE 2 and CE 3.

For a multi-homed CE, that is, a CE connected with multiple PEs, the BGP AS number substitution
function must be used in combination with the site-of-origin (SOO) function. Otherwise, routing loops
may appear.
