Hello Fredy, I’m not contacting you about the 16-bit AS, but posting to the ML because I recently started an IXP and had the same issue.
We eventually went with a 32-bit AS and so far have experienced no problems. IXPManager said that it’s required, but other than some communities that will not be available (you’ll be Large-only), there has been no problem whatsoever. If you can’t find one, don’t worry too much about it, it shouldn’t be a problem. On the other hand, if you insist, a couple brokers had a ton of them for 2-5k which may qualify as “decent” :) Antonis > On 11 Dec 2024, at 19:24, Fredy Künzler via swinog <swinog@lists.swinog.ch> > wrote: > > If anyone has a 16-Bit ASN spare and is willing to sell it for a decent > price, please contact me off list.
