well, once upon a time.... you weren't really considered an "ISP" unless you were able to play the BGP game. So an ASN once was an hallmark of an I{A,S}P. Things change so I expect it is much harder to figure out, externally, what an I{A,S}P is than it used to be. I still use the ASN token as a discriminator. YMMV

Hmmm, and looking at the list of ASNs it's pretty hard to work out which are ISPs and which are not. And then what about those ISPs who don't have an ASN... pI was actually thinking along IAP (Internet Access Provider) lines. But, most folks lump ISPs and IAPs in the same breath.-----Original Message----- From: Adam Rothschild [mailto:asr () latency net] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 11:09 PM To: Roeland Meyer Cc: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: How many ISPs are out there?
