### Instruction:
What is the purpose of the BGP AS override feature?
### Response:
The BGP AS override feature allows a router to override the AS number of a site with its own AS number when sending updates. This is commonly used when a customer is multi-homed to the same provider to avoid the provider's AS appearing in the AS path. It is enabled with the neighbor as-override command.
