RFC 4893: BGP Support for Four-octet AS Number Space

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6793.

Current version: RFC 6793 — BGP Support for Four-Octet Autonomous System (AS) Number Space

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Currently the Autonomous System (AS) number is encoded as a two-octet entity in BGP. This document describes extensions to BGP to carry the Autonomous System number as a four-octet entity. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
