Hi Aftab,

When we questioned this Member why they created the route and ROA with private 
ASN, they informed us that their upstream requested them to create it. It was 
related to some automation/security feature their upstream was using to fix 
routing issues.

Thanks
Vivek

Private,,Reserved and Unallocated (reserved/available) Origin ASN
Thanks to George I saw the recording of policy webinar,

Hi vivek, can you share more details about the incident where an operator gave 
a reason to create a ROA with private ASN?

RFC1930 - Guidelines for creation of an AS - Section 10
Reserved AS Numbers
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following block 
of AS numbers for private use (not to be advertised on the global Internet):

RFC6996 -  Autonomous System (AS) Reservation for Private Use - Section 4.
Operational Considerations
If Private Use ASNs are used and prefixes originate from these ASNs, Private 
Use ASNs MUST be removed from AS path attributes (including AS4_PATH if 
utilizing a four-octet AS number space) before being advertised to the global 
Internet.





Regards,

Aftab A. Siddiqui

Dear Colleagues,

I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum Steering Team.

I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-150,
based on a meeting we organised on 15th Feb to discuss these proposals.

The Various opinions were expressed about this proposal.


(comment details)
 - I support this proposal if it not cause the increasing APNIC's load.

 - I beleive that ROA and whois should be discussed separately,
   since what is required for RoA and whois is different
   in terms of accuracy, etc.

 - Essentially, APNIC should not allow such strange registrations.


Regards,

Satoru Tsurumaki / JPOPF Steering Team
