• Out of the 97 assigned ASNs we know that:

- 6 were 16-bit (swapped from 32-bit to 16-bit)
- 6 were 32-bit


Sorry, this is a bit confusing to me.

Is this indicating that of the 6 32-bit ASNs, all 6 were swapped with

16-bit ASNs or is it that there were 12 32-bit ASNs, of which 6 were

swapped to 16-bit?

Out of curiosity, has there been any investigation as to what AS

numbers might be reasonably reclaimed?


Thanks,
