I have the basic idea of ASN numbers. My question is how do routers know about them?
It doesn't seem like it is signified by any bits in the datagram, so I assume it's
done in the protocol. Once you are assigned an ASN how do your routers know what it is
and how do routers that receive your datagram know what it is?
Thanks
