Leo is referring to RFC 2270. Providers can get an ASN to use for customers who want to be multihomed only to them. It's likely ATT has such an ASN that you could use. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2270.txt --Heather ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Heather Schiller Customer Security IP Address Management 1.800.900.0241 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Leo Bicknell wrote: Some networks (of note, the larger ones) have registered a "customer ASN". The idea is that networks advertised from their backbone ASN should only be the ones they own, and all customers who have no ASN use the customer ASN to originate their block. In most cases the contract prohibits using the customer ASN with another provider; it is only to be used to single home to the one network.
