Wow, that's an end of an era.

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.

Vocus New Zealand is engaged in a series of changes to our BGP advertisements. (And ROA’s, of course.)

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.

A 2-byte ASN has a value of around US$2,000. Being a 4-digit one it may be worth a lot more. https://auctions.ipv4.global Michael Net Trust Ltd Internet Servers and Network Systems Administration p: (06) 374 0880 | (09) 839 1000 m: 021 963 878 e: michael(a)nettrust.nz w: nettrust.nz

Hi Geoff, You're thinking PACCOM (not PACNET), and yes, I believe ASN 681 was originally registered as part of that, circa 1989 - it may have been in a subsequent change. The oldest reference to it I can find is a router change log entry from 27 June 1990. ASN 681 actually disappeared completely from the register in one of the many NIC re-shuffles of the early-mid-90s. I noticed and quietly re-registered it. It still had my name on it as co-ordinator until at least June 2000 (even though I was long gone from VUW by then). I always regarded it a Kawaihiko's (and that's the name I re-registered it as), but I can't speak to its history prior to my starting at VUW in January 1992. If you're wondering how any of that was even possible, well, the Internet ran differently back then... -- don On 11/02/22 12:44, Geoff Huston wrote:

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:

ASN 681 was VUW’s as I recall, not Waikato’s. We later donated it to Kawaihiko. I’m assuming that Waikato would have had a lower one. Probably. I do recall that when I applied for our IP addresses, I looked at the handful of machines we had, and said, well, we’ll probably need more than 256, eventually… so asked for and got 130.195.0.0/16 (although it was a Class B back then). Likewise, when we first took delivery of the Cisco AGS and MGS routers, and I saw that igrp wanted something called an ASN, I just asked for and got 681.

Nex' minute our two cents sells for hundred of dollars of ETH. Then another small fortune to mint/transfer it. On 2022-02-14 18:12, Hamish MacEwan wrote:
