32-bit AS numbers

Fri Oct 9 08:31:52 UTC 2009

Hi all,

As you (hopefully) know, as of 1-1-2010, the RIRs will only be giving  
out 32-bit AS numbers. I'm writing an article for Ars Technica about  
this, and I was wondering about the perspective of network operators  
who may be faced with customers with a 32-bit AS number in the near  
future, and how the vendor support for 32-bit AS numbers is working out.

If you send me info in private mail, let me know your title/ 
affiliation and whether I can quote you or not.
