AS Y receives the two PCBs "a" and "b" through two different (ingress) interfaces, namely "2" and "3", respectively (see {{figure-3b}} below). AS Y also forwards four PCBs, which were previously sent by core AS X, to AS Z, using the two different (egress) links "5" and "6". AS Y extends these PCBs with the corresponding ingress and egress interface information. Additionally, AS Y has two peering links to its neighboring peers V and W, over the interfaces "1" and "4", respectively - AS Y also includes this information in the PCBs. Thus, each forwarded PCB cumulates path information on its way "down" from core AS X.

As shown in the previous figures, PCBs accumulate path and forwarding information at the AS-level when they transit the network. One could say that a PCB represents a single path segment. However, there is a difference between a PCB and a (registered) path segment. A PCB is a so-called "travelling path segment" that accumulates AS entries when traversing the Internet. A (registered) path segment, instead, is a "snapshot" of a travelling PCB at a given time T and from the vantage point of a particular AS A. This is illustrated by {{figure-4}}. This figure shows several possible path segments to reach AS Z, based on the PCBs "g", "h", "i", and "j" from {{figure-3c}} above. It is up to AS Z to use all of them or just a selection.
