Re: [44net] Proposal for allocation of AS numbers

Any AS numbers used inside an isolated organization are OK as long as they are not used for BGP peering with public networks. To make this more manageable, there is this concept of "private AS" so any peer can easily filter them out if they "escape" by mistake. In our case, for internal peering purposes, the 44net BGP space is NOT public, and private AS can be used as we like. And as long as no one intentionally peers with another network using the same AS space, there is no possibility for conflicts. BGP neighbors have to be set manually, so unless both sides don't know what they are doing, there is no issue.
