Hello Mikael and colleagues,
Thank you for the question, and I'm happy to provide clarification.
At present, we assign the highest available ASN from our
undifferentiated pool, but we are planning to adopt a more randomized
approach in the future. As a result, there will be no depletion of the
lower digit (16-bit) ASNs anytime soon.
Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
Manager Registration Services
RIPE NCC

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.
Hi,
could you please elaborate on what this "undifferentiated 32-bit AS
Number pool" is?
I'm mainly curious if it means we'll deplete 16 bit ASNs (allocate
from the lowest available number)?
Thanks.
