So - to NANOG at large - if you want your vendor to include 4-Byte AS support in their BGP code anytime soon, in order to avoid some last minute panic in a couple of years hence, then it would appear that you should talk to them now and say clearly that you want 4-Byte AS support in your BGP software right now.
Geoff, excellent idea..
before I forward this email to my suppliers tho, is there a reference I can send.. excuse my ignorance but I'm not familiar with research done on 4-byte ASNs, is there a proposed standard implementation?
If I have something definite to request I will immediately send those emails,
draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-10 seems to be the document to point them at. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-10.txt Joe
