www.1800gotjunk.com. They're all over Canada and the US (at the very least). It's a very successful franchise operation.

I don't know why they need an AS, but I can say they did a bang-up job of hauling the detritus out of a condo I used to own after the renter abandoned it.

  Maybe they'll take away all your unwanted SPAM and DDOS attack
traffic. :slight_smile:

  Or maybe they are getting large enough that they'll be moving
out of their colo centers and into one of their own, multi homed. I just
multihomed my house and might apply for an ASN for it... :slight_smile: (When is
ASNV6 coming?)

Hi,

ASNV6, no clue... but 32-bit ASN are already prepared, at least in the registry world.

Hi,

ASNV6, no clue... but 32-bit ASN are already prepared, at least in
the registry world.

  It was just a joke, since the AS is getting high up there
in the 2 byte range (2/3's of the available ones down I think) and
was implying that moving to 4 byte would be as fast/efficient/complete
as going to IPV6 (Not...)

           The end is near........ see http://ipv4.potaroo.net
  "Internet is just routes (217118/774), naming (billions) and... people!"

  Sorta in line with your "The end is near"... :slight_smile:

That's actually something funny......
We'll probably run out of v4 addresses sooner than 2 byte ASN, however, globally it seems more pieces of the puzzle are in place for the latter "revolution".

But then again... IPv6 is a long run thing. Most people still don't understand how IPv4 works... :slight_smile:

Cheers,

I doubt most routers are 4 byte ASN aware, but the difference is no 'revolution' is required as 4 byte is designed to cross silently across any 2 byte only routers without needing any upgrade by nature of BGPv4s flexibility

Hi Carlos,

globally it seems more pieces of the puzzle are in place for the latter
"revolution".

What percentage of your core routers can be configured with a four-octet ASN? :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Rob

No.

Depends on what you define as "in place" but I would disagree that
world is ready to move to ipv6 right away, where as moving to 32-bit
ASNs is relatively easy even if some are not ready.
