[ppml] IPv6 PI to legacy IPv4 holders

Brian,

Its possible (and in some cases preferred) for small orgs to use a
private ASN and let the the service provider strip it before
propagating the announcement. I forget the exact numbers but its in
the 64000/65000 range. This is one of the sources of "inconsistent
ASes" in the routing table.

Requiring the assignment of an ASN would burn ASNs unnecessarily in this case.

Regards,
Biill Herrin
