Re: BGP AS PATH

The explanation is: when a router has two BGP possible routes, and picks one
of them, it only advertises the preferred one to its neighbors; so in this
case, when you activate the prepend, only R6 is holding the two possible
routes, and since it prefers the one that comes from AS 1, it will not
advertise the other one (from AS 9) to AS 24 or to R5.
When R6 looses the route coming from AS 1 (turning off the R1 peering), its
new preferred route is through AS 9, so it starts advertising this route to
AS 24 and R5.
