[apologies for duplicates]
Hi,
If people want a representation for 32 bit AS numbers different than
that described in draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representation-02, they
should come to a consensus very, very soon and tell IANA about it.
32-bit ASNs have been discussed for several years now and (according
to the Michaelson draft), RIRs and some router vendors have already
adopted the "<16-bit>.<16-bit>" notation. As such, and since the
RIRs are going to start allocating 32-bit ASNs starting Jan 1, 2007,
IANA chose to use that notation (to be clear, IANA doesn't really
have a strong opinion on what notation is used, but we do have a
strong opinion that one must be chosen).
Obviously, if we're going to change the notation, we should do so
_REAL SOON NOW_.
Rgds,

draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representation-02 was last called on the
idr list so
that is where I think that draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt
should be
discussed
However, draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representation-02 did come in
for criticism
(some relayed from NANOG), with perhaps not enough consensus for it
to go
forward. Its current status is 'Awaiting writeup' (by AD).
Alternatively, there are some fine RIPE lists where this could be
raised:-)
