Grow folk, the IDR wg is spinning through the subject draft: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-last-as-reservation/>
The abstract is: Abstract This document reserves two Autonomous System numbers (ASNs) at the end of the 16 bit and 32 bit ranges, described in this document as "Last ASNs" and provides guidance to implementers and operators on their use. and the intro talks a bit more about the reasoning for the doc: 1. Introduction IANA has reserved the last Autonomous System Number (ASN), 65535, of the 16 bit autonomous system number range for over a decade with the intention that it not be used by network operators running BGP [RFC4271]. Since the introduction of BGP Support for Four-Octet AS Number Space [RFC6793], IANA has also reserved the ASN of the 32 bit autonomous system number range, 4294967295. This reservation has been documented in the IANA Autonomous System Numbers Registry [IANA.AS]. Although these "Last ASNs" border on Private Use ASN [RFC6996] ranges, they are not defined or reserved as Private Use ASNs by [IANA.AS]. This document describes the reasoning for reserving these Last ASNs and provides guidance both to operators and to implementers on their use. it'd would be worth our time to read and comment on the IDR list, if there are comments, or speak up in support of the document (or non-support even) when the time comes for WGLC. thanks! -chris _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
