Dear Colleagues,
Within the RIPE community the AS policy (ripe-245) is based upon RFC 1930. The RIPE policy states that "a network [is required] to be multihomed for an AS number to be assigned". However, there is no clear policy on returning unused AS numbers to the pool.
Would it be possible to define term multihomed more clearly? Does it mean that AS just should have more than one eBGP peer? Lets see the following example: +-----------+ +-------+ | AS-UPLINK | | AS-IX | +---------o-+ +o------+ | | +o-----------o+ | AS-CUSTOMER | +-------------+ AS-CUSTOMER is world-visible through AS-UPLINK and limited visible to some ASes through AS-IX. Should AS-CUSTOMER be considered as multihomed? -- Regards, Vladimir.
