This talk will consist of two parts:
* A summary of the policy changes made in proposal 2005-12 (in the RIPE
Region and similar in the ARIN region) and
the consequences it has when applying for an ASN.
* An overview of changes we have to make at the RIPE NCC in order to be able
to handle 32-bit ASNs. This includes changes to our general infrastructure,
documentation and supporting systems. The talk will give operators an idea
of the work involved and, hopefully, trigger thought about how to approach
this now, rather than wait until January 2009 when requests for an ASN will
return a 32-bit number.
This talk will be roughly based on what I said at RIPE 53
with the main difference being that the RIPE 53 talk was about a project
that just started with lots of unknowns, while this talk is about a project
that will be (almost) finished and where we hit (and hopefully) solved
all the issues one encounters when implementing plans.
