Hi,
> The alternative is to expect "networks" with 100s or 1000s of =
locations to burn 100s or 1000s of ASNs. Which I think is a bit silly. =
Hence my question about possibly changing the rules.
I see no issue with that, we have an ASN pool of roughly 4294967280 =
ASNs. There is no shortage. Also BCP6 section 5 [1] would support the =
philosophy to just get more ASNs when you need to manage multiple =
islands.=20
Kind regards,
Job
