ARIN will begin passing out 32 bit ASN's to anyone who asks as of January 1, 2007. This is the same policy as RIPE so I don't see what the big deal is.So, all of the current devices need to get upgraded before 'day one' of 32-bit ASN use... that'll be fun :) Why is RIPE passing out the 32-bit ASN's now?
By all means let's wait until the last possible second to upgrade ASN support. The waiting approach has worked so well for IPV6 :) Seriously though- why not let people start registering now. The only way we'll know if 32 bit ASN's will work is if we start using them.aren't there still plenty (+20k or so) 16-bit ASN's out there for assignment? (perhaps I'm missing something on the need to allocate the new asn's?)
