Aren't some reasons for using disconnected as's regulatory based ie the bells etc?
As far as I've seen they do the right thing and use multiple ASNs. Kris

The best reasonto do this is for a network that you eventually plan tomerge - iteliminates issues of having to make major BGPconfiguration changes.Nothing inherently wrong with it if you're paying fortransit, but goodluck getting peering in multiple locations withoutpresenting consistentviews.No problem at all. Use a tunnel. Going back to the original question: (A) Is there a reason have disconnected ASs? Sure. Does itmake more sensethan using multiple AS numbers? No. (B) Is there a reason to deaggregate? Absolutely. Thebiggest being ratherbad internal allocations practiced by networks. Alex --
