Hi Aftab, If a network is single homed, according to the current policy, it does not qualify for a public ASN assignment. We would recommend requestors to use a private ASN instead. – I believe this is the main debate point of this policy discussion.
APNIC Members are bound by the membership agreement to not provide false or misleading information in their resource application. We work on the basis of trust when we do our evaluations. However, Hostmasters do contact other ASN peers if necessary to verify information provided in the request. The ASN policy doesn’t request APNIC to monitor the ASN peering. APNIC Members are allowed to change their network peers at any time. The aut-num object in the whois database is maintained by the Member’s maintainer, and it is their responsibility to update their peer information in a timely manner.

An AS also qualifies as multihomed if it is connected to a public Internet Exchange Point. In the ASN request form, you will be asked to provide the estimate ASN implementation date, two peer AS numbers and their contact details. It is also acceptable if your network only connect to an IXP. So what if I only have one upstream provider and doesn't have a Public IX in place? What If I just whois any member from my country and provide AS numbers and contact details publicly available? Do you check back after 3 months that the AS you provided to the applicant is actually peering with the ones they mentioned in the application? Do you send email notification to those contacts provided in the application that XYZ has mentioned your AS to be peer with in future? Regards, Aftab A. Siddiqui.
