The sequence of AS path segments. Each AS path segment is represented by a triple <type, length, value>. The type is a 1-octet field which has two possible values: 1 AS_SET: unordered set of ASs, traversed by a route in the UPDATE message. 2 AS_SEQUENCE: ordered set of ASs, traversed by a route in the UPDATE message. The length is a 1-octet field containing the number of ASs in the value field. The value field contains one or more AS numbers, each AS is represented in the octet string as a pair of octets according to the following algorithm: first-byte-of-pair = ASNumber / 256; second-byte-of-pair = ASNumber & 255;
