In our context the End User wants us to "park" an ASN under our LIR. Your interpretatio of "use" - "used to to identify a host" - does not cover the ASN instance.
Therefore it is clear that an ASN is not intended to be used "internally", moreover, you are not supposed to "park" it.
Obviously you did not understand what I meant by "park". There are many resources out there - listed in the RIPE whois DB, actively being used, announced and routed on the Internet, but due to historical reasons, those resources are not listed under any LIR - they are just free hanging. RIPE NCC has been sending out hundreds (thousands?) of emails to all those "hanging" resources (mainly historical ones) - informing them that the resource has to be listed under a LIR and if not, it will be revoked. For lack of a better term, for a resource that exists, and is being used , and merely needs to be "assigned" to some LIR, I have used the term " to park". Regards, Hank
