RE: New AS request in another country

A rather better approach is to try to plan address space assignment within the current allocation smarter. Say, if xx.foo was allocated 172.16/16 in the past and it wants to start its business in the country YY, then they may

I see your point in general, however in our particular case xx.foo only has 1 allocation, a /19. In theory it could split that and announce one /20 from one AS and the other /20 from its new AS. But then the LIR gets in trouble when one of the /20s fills up much faster than the other... it won't get a new allocation to use for the filled-up AS since its original /19 allocation is not yet full? So even in general, it seems risky to me to have a LIR splitting its open allocation between different ASs? Herbert
