Another AS No.

Dear Anela,

If the 2nd AS will have a different routing policy from the first one 
then you can go ahead and request it from us. As for what block of IP 
addresses to use- you can either use your existing address space, or if 
this AS will really grow and you expect to use a lot of IP addresses 
for it in the future, you might want to set up a separate registry for 
it.

By the way, there was a request about returning of AS numbers. If you 
received an AS number and the plans changed so that it is no longer 
needed, please contact hostmaster at ripe.net to return it. If however, 
you do have plans to re-establish a multihomed connection in the near 
future, you can hold on to the number until then. I'd recommend 
contacting hostmaster anyway to explain the situation.

Kind regards,

Paula Caslav

 * We are ISP and local-ir too, and we have 4 links (bgp) to other ISP.

that is to

 * I know that we can use route-map in bgp to announce different  IP 
addreses,

 * Is it possible to ask another AS Number from RIPE within existing IP 
space

 * I did not find anything about another AS in ripe documents.
