We would be better off upgrading to 32 bits AS numbers sooner rather than later (unless we're confident we'll never run out of 16 bit ones) because this way there are enough 16 bit AS numbers left. The current 32 bit AS number proposal (that has been around for at least 4 years now) should work very well for routers that aren't upgraded as long as only leaf sites use the 32 bit AS numbers. 32 bit AS numbers for transit ASes are best avoided until everyone has upgraded.
"32-bits should be enough for anyone", right? :-) While I do think we need to start the upgrade process, I actually think that we still need to find a process to reclaim unused resources. Otherwise we will be back here sooner than later. And it will be much harder to get these resources back when the net is even larger than today... - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQZj0gKarNKXTPFCVEQIS9QCdFzA4dD9rrfaXpaA6dziFpUGHLnoAoK/y nfctV6BhpuFJBvh2IXEl2tXt =jnCA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
