Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Autonomous System (AS) number is encoded as a two-octet entity in the base BGP specification.

The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-rfc4893bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-rfc4893bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
