I'ld suggest to first use all AS-# allocated to RIPE. Then re-use the AS-# which has the oldest revoke-date (but only if this date is older than one year or so).
Thats an good suggestion too. I dont know if this is out-of-scope of this discussion, but i would suggest that a LIR, which applies for an AS-Num, should be required to fax a written peering agreement signed by at least 2 upstream-providers. This should reduce the the number of initialy unused as-nos somewhat. best regards, Arnd -- NetHead Network Design and Security Arnd Vehling av@nethead.De Gummersbacherstr. 27 Phone: +49 221 8809210 50679 Köln Fax : +49 221 8809212
