I'm fine with such a reservation. However, it'd be good to get the reasoning in the doc rather than letting it be inferred after the fact. As one example, the "don't use AS0" seems like a reasonable thing since it's not permitted in the Internet, but I'm aware of provider policies that are using 0:* in 1997 format to signal stuff. Arguably that case gets weaker with the additional field in -large. The 65535:* in 1997 was fine since something had to be carved out for the well knowns. Where this has been awkward has been the tendency of providers wanting to actually *use* 65535 as a private AS number, but now having an overloaded community space for what's being used as an AS. > > Going back to my earlier question, reserving 65535:*:*, just because it > was a meaningful value in rfc1997, does not make a whole lot of sense. > 65535 was picked in rfc1997 because it was the highest value, we can > apply the same logic with Large. I tend to agree. This piece of the conversation mostly needs harmonization with "what do we do or don't do about automatically mapping 1997 into -large". I'm agnostic on that point. > > Note: i propose just to reserve these two ranges, I don't see an > immediate need to open a registry given that we already have rfc1997 > WKC. I concur, modulo the above. -- Jeff
