	Title		: Using a Dedicated AS for Sites Homed to a Single Provider
	Author(s)	: E. Chen and T. Bates and R. Chandra and John Stewart  III
	Filename	: draft-ietf-idr-as-dedicated-00.txt

With the increased growth of the Internet, the number of customers
   using BGP4 has grown significantly. RFC1930 outlines a set of guide-
   lines for when one needs and should use an AS. However, the customer
   and service provider (ISP) are left with a problem as a result of
   this in that while there is no need for an allocated AS under the
   guidelines, certain conditions make the use of BGP4 a very pragmatic
   and perhaps only way to connect a customer homed to a single ISP.
   This paper proposes a solution to this problem in line with recommen-
   dations set forth in RFC1930.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the 'mpack' utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command 'ENCODING mime' before the 'FILE'
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need 'munpack' or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	'multipart' MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
