+Note that the previous example defines a routing directly between hosts but it could be also used to define a routing between AS.
+That is for example what is commonly done when using peers (see Section \ref pf_peer).
+\verbatim

+\endverbatim
+In such a case though, we connect the AS created by the <b>peer</b> tag with the Vivaldi routing mechanism.
+This means that to route between AS1 and AS2, it will use the coordinates of router_AS1 and router_AS2.
+This is currently a convention and we may offer to change this convention in the DTD later if needed.
+You may have noted that conveniently, a peer named FOO defines an AS named FOO and a router named router_FOO, which is why it works seamlessly with the <b>peer</b> tag.
