ACSP Suggestion 2014.27: Daily Report of ARIN-Issued AS Numbers

Suggestion

Author: Theodore Baschak   
Submitted On: 10 October 2014

Description:

At the moment IPv4 and IPv6 prefix assignments and removals are listed daily on the ARIN issued list. New AS number assignments are not currently listed anywhere at the moment.

It would be nice to have the ASNs which were assigned in a day also on either ARIN issued, or another list for ASN assignments if its decided that ASNs would not be appropriate on the ARIN-issued list.

Value to Community: The value to the community by listing the daily assigned ASNs, would be to those who closely monitor the validity of routes, via as-path, for impossible combinations. There are currently services for IPv4/IPv6 like the cymru bogons feed, http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/Bogons/

Timeframe: Immediate

Status: Closed   Updated: 22 June 2015

Thank you for submitting your suggestion, numbered 2014.27, on the topic of adding daily reporting of the AS numbers issued by ARIN.

ARIN currently publishes a daily report of the IPv4 and IPv6 resources issued for that day. You have suggested either ARIN add the AS number information to the existing report, or to have a similar report specific to AS numbers published daily. We understand your suggestion and agree this public information is something that ARIN can report on a daily basis. We anticipate this suggestion will be prioritized for action and implemented within the first half of 2015. ARIN will keep this suggestion open until it is completed.

Thank you for submitting your suggestion, numbered 2014.27, on the topic of adding daily reporting of the AS numbers issued by ARIN.

ARIN has implemented this functionality, and AS number information is now incorporated into the daily ARIN-issued report. We issued an announcement about this impending change on 19 May, 2015 noting that ASNs will be added to the existing report in the following format:

Remove AS<number>-AS<number>   
Remove AS<number>   
Add AS<number>   
Add AS<number>-AS<number>

Where <number> is either a 2- or 4-byte ASN.

This suggestion is now closed and marked as completed.

Thank you for your participation in the ARIN Suggestion and Consultation process.
