Anyway, LibreQos would really like to obtain a BGP AS number from some RIR (or is there an unused BGP AS transfer market?)
The other part of your question was AS numbers. From your starting point, this is easier. You'll need contracts with two BGP speaking service providers and control of at least a /24 of IP addresses. Virtual server provider like Vultr will be fine for this (they do BGP with customers) but you'll need two. You'll also need an official business, so stand up an LLC. They're cheap. Then go to ARIN and register the LLC as an org. Once registered, request an AS number. Show control of the IP block and the two ISP contracts as your evidence of multihoming. Pay the fee and that should be all there is to it. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
