Terminology for policy execution: "true-path", "false-path", and "continue-path".
Route-policy parent
If apply hierarchical_policy_condition then
TRUE-PATH : if hierarchical_policy_condition returns TRUE then this path will
be executed.
Else
FALSE-PATH : if hierarchical_policy_condition returns FALSE then this path will
be executed.
End-if
CONTINUE-PATH : Irrespective of the TRUE/FALSE this path will be executed.

Nested Wildcard Apply Policy
The hierarchical constructs of Routing Policy Language (RPL) allows one policy to refer to another policy.
The referred or called policy is known as a child policy. The policy from which another policy is referred is
called calling or parent policy. A calling or parent policy can nest multiple child policies for attachment to a
common set of BGP neighbors. The nested wildcard apply policy allows wildcard (*) based apply nesting.
The wildcard operation permits declaration of a generic apply statement that calls all policies that contain a
specific defined set of alphanumeric characters, defined on the router.
A wildcard is specified by placing an asterisk (*) at the end of the policy name in an apply statement. Passing
parameters to wildcard policy is not supported. The wildcard indicates that any value for that portion of the
apply policy matches.
To illustrate nested wildcard apply policy, consider this policy hierarchy:
