The string represents ConfederatoinPeers as <length, value>. Maximum size 255,if any, will not be recorded by this object. The length is a 1-octet field containing the numbner of peers in the value field. The value field contains one or more peers (AS numbers which are part of the confederation). Each AS is represented in the octet string as a pair of octets according to the following algorithm: first-byte-of-pair = (ASNumber & 0xff000000)>>24; second-byte-of-pair = (ASNumber & 0x00ff0000)>>16; third-byte-of-pair = (ASNumber & 0x0000ff00)>>8; fourth-byte-of-pair = (ASNumber & 0x000000ff);
