Re: Fwd: The IESG Approved the Expansion of the AS Number Registry

Afraid so. I'm hoping to be out of the industry before calls for 128 bit AS#s come down the pipe and people (at that time) are laughing about how silly 32 bit AS#s seem.

Does anyone have a current projection of when AS# (16 bit) exhaust will occur?

Thanks,

Deepak

Dear IANA,

The IESG has approved the expansion of the size of the AS Number
registry described in draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-12.txt before the approval
of the document. Please expand the AS Number space to include the
values 65536 through 4294967295, initially marked as "Held by IANA".

Allocations can be made to the RIRs prior to the publication of
this RFC.

Thank You,
The IESG
