It does not appear that additional restrictions on who may request a 2-byte ASN are necessary at this time. If at some point 5+ years down the road the rate of 2-byte ASN demand starts to exceed the recovered supply and the 2-byte ASN inventory is depleted, we can consider a waiting list and/or technical requirements for requesting a 2-byte ASN at that time. >> >> Is there any other reason we need to consider taking action sooner? > > > I agree the current procedures are meeting our needs and see no need for immediate changes. 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. > >> Was there something else I'm missing that prompted ARIN staff to start the consultation process around a 2-byte ASN waiting list? >> >> -Scott > > > One side issue that came up in this discussion that I think could be worthy of follow up and/or further discussion. 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.
+1 - I agree if this is a long term issue we really should be doing something about it.
