Not so much lately. At least not for new players and for the cases where a opening a LIR replaces a PI block. However, I do agree that some LIRs may not need an ASN at all, and most others may be fine with 32bit ASNs. Even for transit networks, 16-bit ASN is not a must in all cases. I think needs evaluation, as ugly as it is, it's still the best way of not wasting limited ressoucres. And a good recovery policy (maybe including "forced recovery/deregistration for non-complicance") is even better. Concerning the criteria for allocating a 16bit ASN, for a transit network I would add "accept 32bit ASN from customers", just to make sure. There are really ugly thing out there in the wild. -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN fr.ccs
