Actually, not really. This is not the same problem as combining multiple private-IP zones that have overlapping addresses. This is a tagging issue - addresses aren't duplicated. As long as private tags are filtered/consolidated with normal ASNs at some border and continue to do so, even when the private ASN zones begin to touch, there really isn't that big of a problem. And when the need to deconflict ASNs actually does arise, renumbering ASNs at peering borders should not be anywhere near as painful as renumbering addresses throughout a network. Ie. the urgency to move everyone to a single universal private-AS (is that an oxymoron? :) ) numbering scheme seems a bit exaggerated.
Hi Antonio
down here we have a little silly adage:
Everything can happen but nothing must :-)
73s and always keep it simple and stupid ;-)
