1. A method comprising:
automatically establishing, by a first network device, a session complying with a dynamic routing protocol with a second network device, the first device being associated with a first autonomous system number and not knowing any autonomous system number associated with the second device, said automatically establishing comprising, in response to detection by the first device of existence of a connectivity with the second device:
exchanging with the second device comprising advertising to the second device the first autonomous system number, said exchanging further comprising:
allocating to the second device an autonomous system number, called second autonomous system number and advertising to the second device the second autonomous system number that has been allocated thereto, wherein the second autonomous system number allocated by the first device to the second device is selected by the first device from a predetermined range of values; and
establishing with the second device the session according to said routing protocol by using the autonomous system numbers exchanged during the exchanging between the first device and the second device.
