RE: [isp-bgp] IX core - public or private ASN?

["Dan Farrell" <danno@...>]

Yeah I couldn't imagine doing anything with BGP on this scale and still
use a private AS... just thinking about having to re-work a
private-AS-based infrastructure to a public one later down the road
sounds like a misadventure.

layer-3 ix because of the big hassle :-) Why do you want in between all 
ISPs?

I would say so.

But do they refuse to assign an ANS to you?

No, RIPE assigns ASN to IX infrastructure.
