AS path geeks:
At the risk of invoking ire and eliciting comparisons to the
widely-reviled and growing practice of selling IPv4 addresses, I'm
wondering if anyone has sold legacy AS numbers for quick cash.
I have heard first hand stories of folks being offered 5 figures
for four digit ASN's in the past (and they did not sell btw). That was
before ARIN started recycling unused short ASN's two years ago. There
was a three month period in 2009 where almost every ASN assigned by ARIN
was < 10000 as they burned through the backlog.
