Dear members,

 

During previous RIPE NCC Regional Meeting, I noticed that ( according to our instructor ) there are some organizations

having AS number while they do not have a multihome network.

 

According policy it is a mandatory requirement for having an ASN. Even in AS request form there is a mandatory field ( peers )

which requestor has to declare at least 2 peers, otherwise the request will not be processed by hostmaster.

and here:

http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/allocations-and-assignments/request-an-as-number

it is clearly mentioned that “Current guidelines require a network to be multi-homed, and have a unique routing policy for an ASN to be assigned”

 

Now if it is really true that there are single-home organizations with ASN, isn’t it a wrong doing?

 

Kind Regards,

Saeed.
