I am sorry, but what for do you want it? Why is not efficient to use AS identification in conjuction to IP prefix filtering at the 1't level ISPs (and may be 2'nd level too), based on the NIC data base. ?? On Tue, 6 Jan 1998, Vadim Antonov wrote:

This would be much easier if we had a bottom-up hierarchical addressing structure rather than the current top-down one.
I quite agree with that (though i'm not convinced that "bottom->top" allocation combined with recursive NATting is the best architecture).
However, this does not preclude doing authentication with the current routing system.
