Hardly anyone here has their own public ASN. In your
case, you would use the ASN of your provider, Vultr.com. Vultr has extensive
documentation on their site, on how to setup BGP advertisements, although you do have to
dig through their support docs a bit to find it.
For the record, my setup is
slightly different, and probably a rather
common one. My provider's ASN was the one I used for my BGP setup,
because my provider is the one doing the BGP routing. I don't have any
ASN whatsoever. Routing is done statically between my provider and the
VPS that hosts my IP range.
It is mandatory. But like IPv4 addresses, they are a
limited resource, and you need to have connections to multiple backbone providers to even
apply for one. IOW, you need to be in the business. Nearly all of us here will use the
Public ASN of our provider.
That's what I did, because I have no need to peer
with anyone. My
provider does all of that. All I had to do was to get the LOA (then
from Brian) to them and possibly their upstream (there wa san extra
little step required in the paperwork from memory), and once the
paperwork was sorted, everything started working. :)
