It's perhaps worth noting that there is work in the IETF to recommend that every prefix originated as part of an anycast cloud uses a unique origin AS (see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-unique-origin-as-00>). I'm not personally convinced of the arguments in the draft, but mentioning it in this thread seems reasonable.
I'm also not convinced of the arguments in the draft, since it argues that it would be a best-practice for me to originate my address space from more than 8,000 different ASNs, when I currently do just fine advertising it from three. I'd much rather there not exist a document that clueless people can point at and claim is a "best common practice" when it's neither best nor common. -Bill -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk2/1jEACgkQGvQy4xTRsBH89wCfSD9h/1v/jNtKwk18XP4In6cE Z3wAniPsu6QvtMfHLlz/Jn7tGUwRzQvX =iuXT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
