Thanks Guangliang, That's what I hoped the answer would be and it's great to see that the hostmasters are able to turn these around so quickly. My summary here after all we have discussed is that under the current policy, if there is an operational need (connecting to more than one ASN or to an

Usman, since an AS is defined as “A collection of prefixes with a common routing policy”, what would you use one for if not to connect to other autonomous systems? If you are connecting to a single other autonomous system, then, arguably it is impossible for your prefixes to have a distinct

Hi Skeeve, I don’t think the current policy mention about subsequent ASN assignment. Every ASN assignment is requested to meet the multihoming requirement. For additional ASN requests, the requestors have to provide justification to show that their new AS is independent to their existing AS.
