Re: Question: BGP REG ^54$ or _54$

^54$ = coming only from AS 54 and passing though no other AS whether before
or after AS 54

_54$ = anything that started in AS 54 and could have passed through
additional AS before reaching you.

^54_ = anything that is coming directly from AS 54 and could have originated
somewhere before reaching AS 54.
