I just fat fingered a regex that was intented to show how many private =
ASNs we=E2=80=99re using on our network for various things. The results =
of the fat fingers showed that there are an astronomical number of =
private ASNs in the wild. I checked the CIDR report, and those ASNs are =
shown there in a specific Bogon ASN report, but I=E2=80=99m surprised =
that as far as I can recall, there haven=E2=80=99t been any efforts made =
by the good netizens around these parts to bring awareness to this =
issue.
Do we feel that it=E2=80=99s not that big of a deal? Have we not really =
been paying attention? Some other reason this seems to be a rather =
muted topic?=
