Usage
Information
Routers supporting 4-Byte ASNs advertise that function in the OPEN message. The behavior of
a 4-Byte router is slightly different depending on whether it is speaking to a 2-Byte router or a
4-Byte router.
When creating Confederations, all the routers in the Confederation must be 4 or 2 byte
identified routers. You cannot mix them.
Where the 2-Byte format is 1-65535, the 4-Byte format is 1-4294967295. Both formats are
accepted, and the advertisements reflect the entered format.
