As always, good research by renesys.
What happens when an ASN is requested, and it's discovered that said ASN is already in use by an unauthorized network, and that some proportion of the Internet are accepting it due to a lack of appropriate routing policy? Is there a process to try and reclaim said ASN via persuasion, or some jurisdictionally-appropriate legal action, or peer pressure (pardon the pun), or . . . ? This is a different circumstance than either accidental or deliberate use of an already-assigned and -utilized ASN; has this situation occurred in the past, and if so, how was it resolved? If the situation isn't resolved in a timely manner, is the ASN in question considered 'poisoned' until a resolution is attained, and the next available ASN which isn't being utilized in a rogue fashion issued in its place? Apologies if this is a naive question; I've not run into this particular circumstance before, nor have I found any reference to it in any of the various list archives. I do believe that it may become a bit more common, given some of the confusion and drama regarding the operationalization of 4-byte ASNs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins () arbor net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice. -- H.L.
