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:

not currently possible to identify separate AS number names for AS
numbers inside of a grouping of AS numbers in a single
registration, ARIN will accept requests to split AS range
registrations into individual AS number registration records to
make unique AS naming possible.Requests to split an AS range
registration can be made through "Ask ARIN" within ARIN Online or
an email to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:hostmaster@arin.net">hostmaster@arin.net</a>. Because ARIN can provide this
service to customers, no further action is necessary and this
suggestion will be closed.<br>
