Description
Solution
These new 4-byte AS numbers (ranging from 65536 to 4294967295) can be written in three ways:
ASN above 65536 is represented by Asdot+
<high order 16-bit value in decimal>.<low order 16-bit value in decimal>.
The ASN from 1 to 65535 can be written as follows 0.200, 0.3000, 0.35986, 0.65412, 0.65535
The ASN above 65536 can written as below:
Formula to calculate Asdot+:
high order bit value = asplain / 65536
low order bit value = asplain - (high order bit value * 65536)
Asdot+ = high order 16-bit value in decimal>.<low order 16-bit value in decimal
Example: converting Asplain 429496729 to Asdot+
high order bit value = 429496729 / 65536 = 6553
low order bit value = 429496729 - ( 6553 * 65536) = 39321
Asdot+ = 6553.39321
Some online tools are available for converting Asplain to Asdot+.
The Asdot and Asdot+ supports in FOS 7.2.1 and above

RFC 5396: Textual Representation of Autonomous System (AS) Numbers
A textual representation for Autonomous System (AS) numbers is defined as the decimal value of the AS number.
This textual representation is to be used by all documents, systems, and user interfaces.
