Migration can be difficult as all the iBGP and eBGP peers of the migratingnetwork must be updated to maintain network reachability. Essentially, Local-AS provides a capability tothe BGP speaker to operate as if it belongs to "virtual" AS network besides its physical AS network.The following illustration shows a scenario where Router A, Router B, and Router C belong to AS 100,200, and 300, respectively. Router A acquired Router B; Router B has Router C as its customer. WhenRouter B is migrating to Router A, it must maintain the connection with Router C without immediatelyupdating Router C’s configuration. Local-AS allows this behavior to happen by allowing Router B toBorder Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) 179
