In theory it could split that and announce one /20 from one AS and the other /20 from its new AS. But then the LIR gets in trouble when one of the /20s fills up much faster than the other... it won't get a new allocation to use for the filled-up AS since its original /19 allocation is not yet full? So even in general, it seems risky to me to have a LIR splitting its open allocation between different ASs? Herbert
