I'm sorry, I can't make out what you are saying. Are you saying that ISPs are now requiring a public ASN even when there is no need for externally visible unique routing policy to the rest of the internet ? Or are you saying I have a case ? Maybe I'm not being very clear. Let me try again. I want to use a private ASN - like 65001 for example, to peer with an upstream (Sprint) to announce routes that will never be seen by the rest of the internet - just my upstream - to control ingres routing. I'm getting pushback saying you have to have a public ASN. This makes no sense and is contrary to the spirit beyond the concept of an ASN. I don't need a unique routing policy that is *different* from Sprints. I don't need visibility of my prefixes beyond Sprint's AS. Why do we need to exhaust ASN supply, and add yet another /24 to routing table bloat (as getting an ASN will now make my prefix de-aggregated) when I am simply multi-homed to the *same* provider. I have read the RFC you mentioned before. It supports my position. Folks, UUNet used to do this all the time (been a year+ since I worked with them, Savvis does it, and other providers have to in the past). Maybe I'll ask around elsewhere. > > Best Regards > Rahul Sawarkar > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
