Hi, how would you explain it when a company (non-member) would ask why can a new LIR still receive a 16bit ASN and they can't? my 2 cents, elvis Excuse the briefness of this mail, it was sent from a mobile device. PS: apologies for the top-post

Hi Peter,
Thinking out loud: We could also apply the "last /8 policy" to this. After it goes into effect, each LIR can request one and only one 16b ASN. 32b ASNs are allocated as normal (with the question asked, but not evalutated).
I think that we are already beyond the point of handing out 1* 16b ASn to each LIR and there isn't that much left in the free pool I'm guessing .. ( that is my gut feeling .. )
But the NCC should be able to answer the total number in the RIPE pool ...
