Autonomous System Numbers: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:29, 18 May 2016

Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) are globally unique numbers and significant part of the Internet routing architecture known as the Autonomous System. Autonomous System Numbers are taken from a 16-bit number field. There are reserved ASNs, including 0 and 65,535, which can be used to identify non-routed networks. ASNs starting from 64,512 up to 65,534 are reserved for private use while the ASN 23,456 is dedicated to be used in the ASN pool transition.^[1] This means that the available quantity of ASNs for Internet routing is limited.
