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.OwenOn Feb 25, 2015, at 16:26 , Usman Latif <osmankh at yahoo dot com> wrote:* sig-policy: APNIC SIG on resource management policy *ASN is an identifier for an autonomous system - so theoretically speaking, an ASN should have no dependency on multihoming or single homingHowever, what we need is a better way to regulate assignment of ASNs so their allocation doesn't become wasteful..Regards,UsmanHi Secretariat,I would like to understand the policy/secretariats view on the justification/requirements of subsequent ASN resource requests.
