i am aware that A BGP speaker can influence the best path selection by a peer by varying the length of the autonomous system path. If i have a statement like route-map ISP-IN permit 10 set as-path prepend 56324 56324 56324 56324 56324



and



neighbor 54.134.156.9 route-map ISP-IN in



am i actually making the neighbor 54.134.156.9 using route-map isp-in more or less attractive, in recieving inbound traffic to my router. Thanks

Wrong direction. Should be "route-map out"

And the answer to the question is that you're making it less attractive. Shorter AS paths are preferred.
