I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. This document reserves the highest-valued 32-bit AS number for an unknown future use. >From a security standpoint, since it says don't use it, and doesn't say what it will be used for in the future, it creates no new security issues. When a special use is standardized for this AS number, then associated security risk presumably will be documented. The document tells operators not to use this reserved value, but tells implementers they should not consider its use to be a protocol error. This is equivalent to having a reserved bit in a message format, but this relates to an IANA registration so needs separate documentation. I'm a bit surprised the document has an intended status of Informational, but is being requested in the shepherd writeup to be published as PS or BCP. Reviewers might assume this only requires the level of review associated with an Informational doc rather than PS or BCP. The document is well-written and ready to advance.
