BGP only populates your idea of the next hop towards your destination. Once your packets leave your network to the intermediary autonomous systems they forward the packets based on their idea of the best next hop. Short of some combination of tunnelling &/or encryption there's no real way for you to control/verify what happened to the packets in transit. -- patrick
