Just a quick FYI, I am no longer with WebUseNet ASN 19151. I'll be starting to build a new network over the next several months. Does anyone have a low ASN I can buy/transfer as to not have one up in the 30,000s...

numbers over 32K as well? Or is there some other reason?
I can't find it right now, but I believe there is a regex out there that some people may be using to drop unallocated asn blocks in as-path filtering.
