It might be easier to understand if we just describe what the role of the core segment is in such scenarios. In the end, it is simply a mechanism to discover the source ASes for the candidate down segments.

This PR proposes documentation that describes how peering shortcuts with core ASes work. See also: #4909
This PR does not add any diagrams. New/additional diagrams may be useful, in that case I would ask for access to the originals of the existing diagrams. It could generally be useful if diagram sources would be added to the repository.
