I fully agree for the real world. Here it seems that RIRs and some of the vendors use asdot(+), so a safe bet would be to use that.
You've left out the operators, *all* of whom are going to audit all their all their configuration state and update any string-form filters of ASNs. There's no point revisting the arguments though, so let's try avoid classifications like the above. A decision would indeed be nice. Given "asdot" is a fait accompli, by way of unmandated implementation, and there's little will to turn this barge back to port, why not write up and approve whatever policy documents are required? regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be. -- Abraham Lincoln
