[nznog] Re: Farewell to AS9503

AS9503 was assigned by APNIC on the 23rd March 1999 - so whatever the pedigree of this AS it does not predate 1999. Older NZ AS’s are still in the registry. I can see as AS4648, registered in October 1995, which is Spark, formerly NZ Telecom I guess that the University of Waikato’s AS681 which I believe is a relic of the PACNET project of 1989 is the earliest NZ AS, but somehow the APNIC registration date was rewritten to the date the record was passed to APNIC from ARIN, being in 2002. The set of NZ AS numbers which have the same transition date include: apnic|NZ|asn|681|1|20020801|assigned|A91D9208|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|2537|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|2569|2|20020801|assigned|A91CCCF4|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|2756|1|20020801|assigned|A91BD5FB|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|2925|2|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|3711|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|3747|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|3773|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|3787|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|3929|1|20020801|assigned|A91E66F2|e-stats apnic|NZ|asn|4049|1|20020801|assigned|A9142127|e-stats so much for today’s trivia :-) Geoff

AS9503 was the AS that was Comnet. Comnet is what was left of the DSIRNet after the Crown Research Institutes act happened in 1992. I don't know when AS9503 was first announced some it's got to be sometime before 1992. Which makes for a pretty stink 30 something birthday party for AS9503! :-)

jabley might know more because I had to ask him nicely to transfer maint records when FX took over what was left of ComNet in the early 2000's.

See ya AS9503, it was fun.

The address ranges we advertise are changing only slightly. But we have ceased to originate routes as AS9503, the autonomous system of the former FX Networks.
