Unique Origin Autonomous System Numbers per Node for Globally Anycasted Services
RFC 6382, “Unique Origin Autonomous System Numbers per Node for Globally Anycasted Services”, is a Best Current Practice document published in October 2011 by D. McPherson, R. Donnelly, F. Scalzo. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document makes recommendations regarding the use of unique origin autonomous system numbers (ASNs) per node for globally anycasted critical infrastructure services in order to provide routing system discriminators for a given anycasted prefix. Network management and monitoring techniques, or other operational mechanisms, may employ this new discriminator in whatever manner best accommodates their operating environment. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
