Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.4.0 adds support for BGP Authentication Key Chaining, BGP 4-Byte Autonomous System Number (ASN), and BGP Next Hop tracking enhancements.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios_xr_sw/iosxr_r3.4/general/release/notes/reln_34.html#wp239046
BGP 4-Byte ASN-Increases the range of supported autonomous systems from 2 bytes to 4 bytes to scale with expected Internet growth.

12.2SR* is supposed to be in late 2008, but has not yet been announced publicly.

Juniper it's in JUNOS 9.1 as farr as I can tell.

I am doing some research for our company regarding 32 bit ASN numbers.  I am 
trying to locate information about vendor and service provider support.  In 
particular I have not been able to find what Cisco IOS image I would need to 
load on our router to support 32 bit ASN's.  I also want to know what 
experience people have had with service provider support of 32 bit ASN's
