Hi, Filiz, everyone -- I support this proposal. As somebody involved with spreading information about the operational problems that were discovered with several asn32 implementations, please could I make a few comments : - The time-extension should be to help mitigate effects of the first generation asn32 bgp code, not buy a solution to inertia. ASN32 is now broadly safe to plan and implement, so understand the issues that were uncovered last year and then please do roll out a safe implementation on your networks ! - Do we need an additional RIPE policy alongside this advisory, extending the asn16 space in the ripe region by some months or a year ? Kind regards, Andy Davidson
