    Description: WHOIS info does not allow to put unique names on ASN's
    that are part of a range assignment. As we prepare to roll out a
    BGP-LU product it would be super helpful on several of our range
    allocations if we could place the name of the actual metro area
    being served.<br>
    <br>
    Value to Community: reflect more accurate and useful information in
    the database.<span style="font-family:

      make unique AS naming possible.Requests to split an AS range
