If the router is not an IXP-owned router, each participating router is in a "normal" AS.

But I might be really wrong in order to save a couple of 2-Byte AS-numbers,
but somehow I have the feeling that 2-Byte space is out much faster that anticipated.
So how far are we in globally reachable 4-Byte AS-numbers yet? (different topic).
