Perhaps not; I'm not a router vendor, and I'm not >presupposing an answer. According to draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-12.txt, the wire format uses straightforward 32 bit fields to encode an AS number in "new" BGP. The notation is in the form of offering guidance to folk relating to CLI, Route Registry Objects, Whois Objects, routing requests, ... and other places where humans and AS numbers intersect. I'm sure that most implementations of such tools would align to the principle of being liberal in what they accepts as input, but the notation is intended to offer some guidance to implementors and users of a default input format and a default output format. regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ Idr mailing list Idr@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/idr
