Should I have my own ASN
Recently I often see a lot of people in some groups need to apply for ASN, I feel that this is unnecessary, in DN42 can carry out various experiments, in the public network only need to provide me Routed Prefix can, for what reason must have ASN in the public network.
As far as I know, some providers offer cheap ASN application, the cost is only a one-time fee, and also provide parking service, that is, ASN and IP are handed over to them to manage, they announced, but not to transmit, so what is the use of applying for this kind of ASN.
If necessary, that's why, I have BuyVM with Routed Prefix, and a DN42 account.
And I can full view Internet BGP tables via private ASN.

No, you can save 100% of your money.
yes
How many nodes are on your network, and in how many locations? How many upstreams do you have?
Do it.
Go for it and who is this provider ?
Think this really depends on the use case however we do see alot of customers come with their own AS that don't really need one but just like the idea of running their own "network"
Me too!
I run my own Named Data Networking network (UDP/IPv6 overlay), which doesn't require an ASN, but has the same satisfaction.

Of course you must obtain your own ASN! You will be a toughest kid on a block, along with those who run their own mail servers and dns resolvers.
NO. Try being a RIR. Then you control all the kids on the town.
Don't forget to spend a massive amount of money on certain markets to buy an ASN whose decimal integer representation looks nice to human eyes and with a number <0x10000 in order to increase your coolness.
Or.. just do what you wrote and only buy things when you actually need them and not because someone wants to sell them. Even though in other context this might be in conflict with "LowEnd idling ethics".
I am successfully idling all my services bought from LET providers.
I do the same, but I am doing it privately, without a public ASN. Nobody knows I am doing it.
This is just a program that makes your public ASN idle and requires you to pay for it, you need?
I know that this service provider is in the Telegram group of DN42 CN.

I am already a proud consumer in his network.
So I got 7 ASN total as investment.
Most of them is 5 digits ASN. The plan is to sell some of them someday for a few thousand bucks each.
If you're going to get an ASN, maybe try to get a 16 bit one considering the value of 5 digits ASN is about to go up a lot more in upcoming years.
If you are lucky enough, you might get a special number that's gonna be worth a lot more than the regular 5 digits.
Will you consider to release ASN NFTs?
Damn, the United States Airforce has AS420
I got one ASN with 777 on it. IP ranges like 23.160.160.* is kinda special as well.
Some of my clients have been lucky with the AS number assignment.
Yes it will be helpful , if any of my client want to idle there ASN
I used to have IP 66.79.179.179 on one of my servers maybe 10-15 years ago (with a reseller of DCS back in the day)... I miss that IP sometimes.
Why?
There is an AABB:AABB::/32 that will also be very special.
I like easy to remember numbers. +123456 46**1 is another example of my precious numbers.
You can't get a 16 bit ASN without valid justifications right now. Getting that justification is going to be more harder in future as pretty much all upstream and routers support 32 bit ASN already.
5 digits ASN cost around $2000 USD right now. RIRs could eventually run out 16 bit ASN as well and anyone who wants to have a shorter 16 bit ASN will have to buy an existing one.
ASN Parking? lol wtf
How does it cost $2000 right now? All 5 RIRs have 16-bit ASN in their free pool. As far as I can tell the RIPE NCC and APNIC happily assign one provided a proper justification, for absolutely no additional cost (obviously).
It's not like IPv4 where you must also have IPv4 to talk to other IPv4 hosts anyway.
5 digits ASN is always free from RIPE, ARIN and APNIC, just do justification.
We collect 4 digits ASNs, which is more expensive on the market
One of my phone numbers has
32
and98765
in it@udonworld , That's the thing, people who can't get proper justifications and don't know someone like me, will end up buying a 5 digit ASN from hilco for around $2K.

As I said, pretty much all upstream and routers support 32 bit ASN already.
Btw, @xTom are you buying ARIN IPv4 right now?
