AS Adjacency Report

In the context of this report "Upstream" indicates that there is an adjacent AS that lines between the BGP table collection point (in this case at AS2.0) and the specified AS.

This upstream / downstream categorisation is strictly a description relative topology, and should not be confused with provider / customer / peer inter-AS relationships.
