And a whole lot (~1/2) are reserved to IANA. Specifically:
32768-64511 IANA-RSVD
64512-65535 IANA-RSVD2
You can find this on ftp://rs.arin.net/netinfo/asn.txt (even if it hasn't
been February ;).
The second block is the one you have to worry about since those numbers are
used for things like BGP confederations. I believe the first block could
be allocated to the general public, but you'd have to check with someone
more cluefull to be sure.
