Dear colleagues,
In November 2023, I shared with you during the RIPE meeting and on this mailing list that the RIPE NCC intends to assign Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) from an undifferentiated 32-bit AS Number pool, as defined in the Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies.
I am pleased to inform you that this change has been successfully implemented. The option to choose between a 16-bit or 32-bit AS Number as been removed. When submitting a request, the RIPE NCC will assign the next available AS Number from the undifferentiated allocation pool.
Hi, could you please elaborate on what this "undifferentiated 32-bit AS Number pool" is? I'm mainly curious if it means we'll deplete 16 bit ASNs (allocate from the lowest available number)? Thanks. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
