excellent point :) the distinction between 'good' and 'bad' was just non-abuser/abuser. Certianly ARIN's requirements for ASN ownership are simple enough, be multihomed and have a 'unique' routing policy. If you need an ASN likely you are already multihomed and have a 'unique' routing policy, eh?
It's not even THAT difficult...all you have to be is multihomed _or_ have a 'unique' routing policy. Being multihomed by itself is trivial and plenty of justification...does anybody have some examples of 'unique' routing policies, that require ASNs, that don't require or imply multihoming? For example, while anycasting is a good example of a potential use of an ASN without requiring multihoming, it's kind of implied that they're at least purchasing transit from multiple organizations (if not truly multihomed) and could easily justify an ASN without having to specify their unique routing policy. What sorts of 'unique' routing policies justify an ASN? Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
