In following comments, did you consider we are discussing "public" AS
numbers?
Since we are discussing "public" AS, we should have some kind of
justifications why it should be globally unique.
Usman, since an AS is defined as “A collection of prefixes with a common
routing policy”, what would you use one for if not to connect to other
autonomous systems? If you are connecting to a single other autonomous
system, then, arguably it is impossible for your prefixes to have a
distinct routing policy and you are, therefore, part of that other AS. If
you are connecting to multiple other autonomous systems, then, you are, by
definition multihomed.
If you have some better way to manage this, I’m all ears.

ASN is an identifier for an autonomous system - so theoretically speaking,
an ASN should have no dependency on multihoming or single homing
However, what we need is a better way to regulate assignment of ASNs so
their allocation doesn't become wasteful..

Hi Secretariat,
I would like to understand the policy/secretariats view on the
justification/requirements of subsequent ASN resource requests.
