Use of hex

Representing AS Numbers in hex is non-standard and just leads to confuse readers of the article. It would be helpful if the article followed the format defined in RFC 5396. 66.239.79.6 (talk) 22:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pleased to oblige, a task long overdue. Kbrose (talk) 22:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

since there are no "active" external links, i'd like to point out

All of them offer indepth-information about specific AS. Since I'm affiliated with 1) and 2) i won't insert them myself. --217.80.49.75 14:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Language mechanics

Is there a missing word in this section or a better way to word this section: "Numbers of the form 0.y are exactly the old 16-bit AS numbers, 1.y numbers and 65535.65535 are reserved, and the remainder of the space is available ..."? --Javamen (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ASNs are transparent

Can someone clarify this line- "Usually Internet Exchange Point ASNs are transparent" 69.86.6.150 (talk) 17:24, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Easy, that is refering to the "AS_PATH", when you have a direct peering at an IXP, you won't see the IXPs ASN and if both parties are using the

public Route server the configuration might omit/remove the ASN in between, depending on the configuration, for e.g. SwissIX or others. On Cisco routers this command is achived with: "no bgp enforce-first-as" (IOS-XE) or "bgp enforce-first-as disable" (IOS-XR).

If you don't understand it, than you don't need to worry about it, it's transparent because it works. Some IXPs (Internet Exchange Point) also use private ASN for that purpose and these are also omited from the AS-PATH. --huggi - never stop exploring (talk) 08:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
