 Hi Experts!

I work for a mobile phone provider which is intending to provide VPN MPLS
service that require the use of MP-BGP protocol into the backbone MPLS.

The question is regarding the AS number to use in the backbone. I believe
that they need to configure a public AS instead of a private AS to avoid
some kind of overlapping issues with the customer, and BGP AS-Path issues as
well.
I'd like to hear from your side the key technical points to justify the use
of a public AS in the backbone for this service. Any?

Thanks,
