However, I would suggest the community get regular reports on the inventory levels for 2-byte ASNs. Adding a slide to one of the many reports at the PPMs seems logical, but I'd leave it up to staff to determine the best mechanism for such reporting. Assuming we stay on the current trajectory, I think we should look at this again in about two years. Hopefully, by then the rate of use for 2-byte ASNs will have slowed even more and any real operational threat from running out of 2-byte ASNs will be greatly diminished if not non-existent. If not we should still have sufficient time to plan for a soft landing.

The number of ASNs in the routing table that are not properly registered, surprised me a little; 350+ unregistered ASNs and 900+ prefixes associated with them, were the easy numbers for me to find. What I don't know, does that represent a constant churn of short-term issues, where most of them come and go over a few months. Or, are most those chronic long-term issues that are not getting cleaned up even after several years. If it's the later, then maybe we need to do something about that.
