Dear colleagues, In November 2023, I shared with you during the RIPE meeting and on this mailing list that the RIPE NCC intends to assign Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) from an undifferentiated 32-bit AS Number pool, as defined in the Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies. I am pleased to inform you that this change has been successfully implemented. The option to choose between a 16-bit or 32-bit AS Number as been removed. When submitting a request, the RIPE NCC will assign the next available AS Number from the undifferentiated allocation pool. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC On 30/11/2023 16:40, Marco Schmidt wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > During the RIPE 87 Address Policy working group session yesterday, I > presented the topic of AS Number assignments, specifically addressing > a policy in place since 2010.
