Hi all,
As you (hopefully) know, as of 1-1-2010, the RIRs will only be giving
out 32-bit AS numbers. I'm writing an article for Ars Technica about
this, and I was wondering about the perspective of network operators
who may be faced with customers with a 32-bit AS number in the near
future, and how the vendor support for 32-bit AS numbers is working out.
If you send me info in private mail, let me know your title/
affiliation and whether I can quote you or not.
Iljitsch
