All done with elisp <grin>!

Uh, I do not understand the question.  What role do you think ASNs play in
a routing registration process?  By me, they're cans in which to stick
networks, and each can is labeled by its vertices, connections to other
cans.  Each has a different routing policy, as can be clearly seen by the
181 records for them.

We're just bottom-feeding pond scum (new ScumV6 that sinks as opposed to
floats, so we bottom feeders can get it), and would not want to barge into
E<beep>'s party for the elite and track mud all over the nice white carpet.
Translation for the sarcasm-impaired, we were not invited.
