The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) met on 19 February 2015 and requested
that the following proposed editorial update to the Number Resource
Policy Manual (NRPM) be posted for review by the community.
NRPM Section 5. AS Numbers
Current text regarding numbers for private use:
Sites that do not require a unique AS Number should use one or more of
the AS Numbers reserved for private use. Those numbers are: 64512
through 65535.
Proposed correction:
Sites that do not require a unique AS Number should use one or more of
the AS Numbers reserved for private use. Those numbers are: 64512
through 65534 and 4200000000 through 4294967294 inclusive.
For reference, links the the RFCs in question.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6996
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7300
Between the two RFCs the status of 65535 has been clarified and a new
much larger range of 32-bit AS Numbers has been added to the Private-Use
AS Number Range.
The process for editorial updates to the NRPM is found in Part One,
Section 3.1, paragraph 3 of the PDP:
"Changes to policy that are purely editorial and non-substantial in
nature are outside the scope of the full Policy Development Process and
may only be made with 30 days public notice followed by the concurrence
of both the ARIN Advisory Council and ARIN Board of Trustees that the
changes are non-substantial in nature."
Your feedback on this issue is appreciated.
The review period will close on 27 March 2015.
