Re: [address-policy-wg] New AS Number block allocated to the RIPE NCC

Weird... I thought the NCC was only allocating 32-bit AS numbers now.

Globally the default is 32 bit, 16 bit on request. 32 bit only from next January. Statistics presented at the APNIC meeting a couple of weeks ago suggest that most of the actual assignments this year have fallen into the "on request" bucket. Reasons why are left as an exercise for the reader (or discussion on one of these lists). :) Rob
