= BGP ASN Allocations =


BGP is Border Gateway Protocol. An ASN is an Autonomous System Number. BGP uses ASNs as identifiers to keep track of autonomous systems.


An unsuccessful experiment with BGP on the [[PersonalTelcoVPN]] once used the ASN `65503`.

This ASN was registered on a FreeNetworks wiki page which provided a registry to help coordination of ASNs used by community networks. Sadly, that wiki seems to have completely disappeared.


ASNs in the range of `64512` through `65535` are reserved for private use according to [[http://www.arin.net/reference/rfc/rfc1930.txt|RFC 1930]].
