thomas king and arnold nipper pointed out an omission which this fills A route server is usually 'transparent', most importantly not inserting its own AS into the AS_Path, to not lengthen the AS hop count and thereby reduce the likelihood of best path selection. See 2.2.2 of [I-D.ietf-idr-ix-bgp-route-server]. A BGPsec-aware route server needs to validate the incoming BGPSEC_Path, and to forward updates which can be validated by clients which know the route server's AS. The route server uses pCount of zero to not increase the effective AS hop count.
