If it is nowhere advertised you could use a privat AS-number... Wolfgang

Definitely there is AS number being used within our backbone but not advertised to public network. So the AS number should be allowed to be registered but not advertised the same way as IP address is treated.

In the documentation for address space provision is made for assigning addresses to organisations that will NEVER be connected to the Internet but require uniqueness from private address space.
Whilst I can't think of a specific example to apply to AS numbers, should this uniqueness be extended to AS numbers that do not show up in the routing table but are very much on-line?
I also recon 3 months to get online although given the length of time it can take a big comapany to integrate a small one lets say 12 months for returning.
Kind regards
