Hi Ed, I think that AS23456 should be excluded as I can't think of any good reason for having such a route object and seemingly no one else either as there are none currently.
https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?bflag=false&dflag=false&inverse=origin&rflag=true&searchtext=AS23456&source=RIPE So assuming that I didn't mess up the query and that there are in fact none currently, I think it is completely reasonable to exclude AS23456 as while not listed as "reserved" it is reserved for a specific internal (unlike AS112) use case. -Cynthia On Wed, Jul 7, 2021 at 4:05 PM Edward Shryane via db-wg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Job, > > > On 7 Jul 2021, at 15:08, Job Snijders via db-wg <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hi Working Group, > > > > I'd like to clarify my position, Ronald lists three restrictions, the > > totality of those restrictions is what I consider brittle. > > > > On Tue, Jul 06, 2021 at 06:57:20PM -0700, Ronald F.
