Hi Frank, I got this question before. Hence I believe we need to clarify this in the RFC, perhaps put it inside the text you quoted. In the next section in RFC, you fill find: 5.3 Predefined Set Objects In a context that expects a route set (e.g. members attribute of the route-set class), an AS number ASx defines the set of routes that are originated by ASx; and an as-set AS-X defines the set of routes that are originated by the ASes in AS-X. A route p is said to be originated by ASx if there is a route object for p with ASx as the value of the origin attribute. For example, in Figure 15, the route set rs-special contains 128.9.0.0/16, routes of AS1 and AS2, and routes of the ASes in AS set AS-FOO. route-set: rs-special members: 128.9.0.0/16, AS1, AS2, AS-FOO Figure 15: Use of AS numbers and AS sets in route sets. The set rs-any contains all routes registered in IRR. The set as-any contains all ASes registered in IRR.
