there are valid cases where a (globally unique) AS# is required which does not show up in the DFZ. (and, of course, there are places where a private AS# would do just as well). Hmmm. I'm curious: could you name a few? The things that I could imagine are "private peerings somewhere", which "should" work using private AS#s just fine.
private peering, in the sense i to which i am used, folk who use a p2p circuit as opposed to an l2 mesh, have the exact same routing needs as folk who peer publicly. randy
