Slightly different approach... Needing to multihome is justification for requesting an ASN. Is this strictly necessary? No. You can source the block on his behalf but that creates various routing inconsistancies. There are other even more unpleasant ways of doing this that are perfectly feasible. (I'd be willing to use them if I was the client since I know what I'm doing but I would not be willing to have a client of mine use them because it would scare the hell out of me.) -Wayne On Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 05:43:03PM -0400, Keegan.Holley@sungard.com wrote:
I have a client that wants us to advertise an IP block assigned by another ISP. I know that the best practice is to have them request an AS number from ARIN and peer with us, etc. However, I cannot find any information that states as law. Does anyone know of a document or RFC that states this?
