I don't see anything under "show route protocol bgp": http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/reference/command-summary/show-route-protocol.html But under "show route advertising-protocol" you get decoder ring: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/reference/command-summary/show-route-advertising-protocol.html AS path through which the route was learned. The letters at the end of the AS path indicate the path origin, providing an indication of the state of the route at the point at which the AS path originated: I - IGP. E - EGP. ? - Incomplete; typically, the AS path was aggregated. When AS path numbers are included in the route, the format is as follows: [ ] - Brackets enclose the local AS number associated with the AS path if configured on the router, or if AS path prepending is configured. { } - Braces enclose AS sets, which are groups of AS numbers in which the order does not matter. A set commonly results from route aggregation. The numbers in each AS set are displayed in ascending order. ( ) - Parentheses enclose a confederation. ( [ ] ) - Parentheses and brackets enclose a confederation set. Note: In Junos OS Release 10.3 and later, the AS path field displays an unrecognized attribute and associated hexadecimal value if BGP receives attribute 128 (attribute set) and you have not configured an independent domain in any routing instance.
