What are the potential consequences of multiple assignments of the
same AS?
My initial reaction was that this would be very bad
But that is not necessarily the case and we might have a CIDR type
workaround possible

Subject: Status of the 16-bit AS Number space
Dear IESG,
This is to let you know what we now have fewer than 10 blocks of 16-
bit AS Numbers left in the IANA free pool.
Yesterday we allocated two blocks of 1,024 AS Numbers to ARIN, as
per the Global Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to Regional
Internet Registries, which was ratified by the ICANN board in July
last year.

>http://www.icann.org/en/general/global-policy-asn-blocks-31jul08-en.htm
The unallocated 16-bit AS Number space is now 54272-64511. The full
registry can be viewed at:
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml>http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml
We agreed to notify the IESG when we got to this point in the AS
Numbers registry. Please let me know if you have any questions or
comments.
Kind regards,
Michelle Cotton
IANA
