I have seen age old discussions on single AS vs multiple AS for backbone =
and datacenter design. I am particularly interested in operational =
challenges for running AS per region e.g. one AS for US, one EU etc or I =
have heard folks do one AS per DC. I particularly don't see any =
advantage in doing one AS per region or datacenter since most of the =
reasons I hear is to reduce the iBGP mesh. I generally prefer one AS =
and making use of confederation.=20
