An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique identifier assigned to a network or group of networks that operate under a single administration and routing policy. ASNs are essential for effective BGP routing on the global internet.
Gain independence from your ISP's routing policies and establish your own online identity with a unique ASN.
Connect to multiple ISPs simultaneously for improved redundancy and reliability of your internet connectivity.
Establish direct peering relationships with other networks at internet exchanges to optimize traffic flow.
Optimize routing paths for your traffic to improve performance and reduce latency for your users.
Submit your requirements and business justification for needing an ASN to our team.
We'll help prepare all necessary documentation required by the regional internet registry.
Application is reviewed by the appropriate regional internet registry (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, etc.).
Upon approval, your ASN is officially registered and ready for configuration.
Our technical team assists you in configuring BGP and announcing your ASN on the internet.
ASN registration starts at 80 EUR per year. This includes the registration fee and our service charge for managing the process.
Organizations typically need to demonstrate they have a unique routing policy or are connecting to multiple providers (multi-homing). Our team can help assess your eligibility and build a case.
The process typically takes 2-4 weeks from application to assignment, depending on the regional registry's current processing times and the completeness of your documentation.
Yes, to effectively use an ASN, you'll need IP address space to announce. Our Premium and Enterprise packages include IP address allocation to get you started.
Yes, our Premium and Enterprise packages include BGP configuration assistance. Our network engineers will help you set up and optimize your BGP routing.
16-bit ASNs range from 1 to 65535 and are mostly allocated. 32-bit ASNs range from 65536 to 4294967295 and are now commonly assigned. Both function the same way in modern networks with updated BGP implementations.
