BGP peers share routing information with each other in the form of prefix advertising. A prefix is a subnet plus a list of AS numbers which say which ASNs traffic has to pass through to get to that subnet.
Routers can only hold so many table entries, so if there is a flood of bullshit/unneccesary advertisements, important routes can get dropped or changed.
