Unless I'm missing something, it will double the size of it, since that /24 out of that /8 won't aggregate with their other address space. (Hint - our AS has 198.82/16 and 128.173/16 and some other small blocks - how many routes do YOU see for us?) Also, there's no real reason to think that address space usage in that bootstrap /24 will accurately reflect usage in a /20 allocated to them, since THAT /20 will probably be sub-allocated to users/customers. Heck, in our AS, the nameservers and mailservers and the like would probably fit into a /27 (maybe a /26), and wouldn't tell you anything about the /20 that covers Torgeson Hall.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
