> English words are not numbers.
I guess no one claimed that.
> The reason for choosing AS0 was that it will never appear in that field
otherwise. The specification you have linked talks about AS0 being used
for *non-routed* networks. If an IP address is non-routed then it would
not appear in the routing tables that are used to generate this
information.
correct and that is the reason why it is confusing to use AS0 for actually
routed IP addresses
> RFC7606 was part of the reasoning for choosing AS0.
RFC7606 - "Revised Error Handling for BGP UPDATE Messages"
not sure how this is related, I did not find "AS0" or "AS 0" in that
document
