Question: AS number preservation
- Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 14:16:02 +0200
Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for asking this question... if not, please
direct me to the right place. TIA.
I have a question which I was hoping someone could answer: let us assume that
an organization already has an AS number, due to, say, a multihomed connection
to two other AS's.
This organization now removes one of these connections, and is left with a
single-homed connection. However, the organization may still wish to regain a
multihomed connection in the future, and therefore would like to keep their AS
number.
What are the rules governing such a case? Will the AS number be preserved? Will
it be taken from the organization? If so, how long does the organization have to
reestablish a multihomed connection? Is there any document that deals with this
issue (I havent found anything relevant in RIPE-181 or RIPE-185)
Many 10x,
Sincerely, \'"'/
