At a minimum you're going to need a single /24, not two. You would
announce this prefix on both connections. You're also going to need to
apply for an autonomous system number from ARIN. Details can be found
at www.arin.net.
I'm wondering what you're really trying to accomplish. If this extra
link isn't for redundancy, just load sharing, then why not have two
connections to the same provider? This is FAR easier to implement, does
not require a public AS number, and does not require using up an entire
/24 prefix unnecessarily.
Even if the link is for redundancy, you could multihome to different
POPs of the same provider. Again, this is easier to implement, doesn't
require the AS number, and doesn't burn up so many addresses. If you
have a good provider this is an excellent solution.
I'd seriously consider these other options before you make a decision.

John

Hi, All,
Here is a quick question:
We are planning to run BGP over two ISP links to provide loading
balance.
But we were told that we will run into major problems if we do not have
full
class Cs on both ends.
Could somebody make comment on this?
Thanks
Ruihai
