You can get the AS number with proper justification, although there
is no guarantee that this prefix will propagate through the Internet
as a whole and the prefix will be reachable. In general, you would
have to demonstrate to the registry:
-- you plan to multihome
-- you can demonstrate contracts with at least two upstream providers
you may be asked to document your routing policy, which, in any case,
is a good idea. ARIN recommends doing so, RIPE NCC requires it.
Your design may be scrutinized, and questions are likely to be asked
why this can't be done with provider-assigned address space. The
registry might evaluate whether your links are fast enough to support
the number of routes you plan to receive.
Hint: to get into the right mindset for such a request, be sure you
understand you have a /24. From the perspective of global routing,
there is no such thing as a class A, B, or C.
