Dear colleagues,
after reading various related RIPE documents, the following question is still not clear to me: suppose a company Foo.xx in country X (operating a LIR xx.foo) wants to start up a daughter company in country Y, where it will need a new AS. Can LIR xx.foo request a new allocation and a new ASN for use by the new daughter? or Does it need to establish a legal entity in country Y, start up a new LIR yy.foo, and have yy.foo request a new allocation and ASN ?
A new AS number can be requested by anyone (via any LIR) for any use where there is a seperate routing policy. So, as long as yy.foo has a different rouing policy to xx.foo, it is eligable for another AS number via the original LIR. -- Ryan O'Connell - On:Line Finance IT Department - <ryan@on-line-finance.net> NOC/Support Voice Line: +44 1932 235320 How do you sleep?
