RE: Pitfalls of annoucing /24s

2003-10-15 Thread Jean-Christophe Smith


I noticed the verio filter policy, in relation to inbound:
 - In the traditional Class A space (i.e., 0/1), we accept /22 and shorter.

If I want to announce a /24 in the 64.x.x.x space(traditional Class A space)
am I'm going to have a problem with other networks that have peer filters
similar to Verios?

Thanks,
Jean-Christophe Smith

That's how Verio does it, and I assume, that's how most people who 
filter by length do it as well.

Pitfalls of annoucing /24s

2003-10-15 Thread Jean-Christophe Smith


In current practice would there be serious jeopardy of portions of the
internet not being able to reach this address space due to bgp filters or
other restrictions? What is the smallest acceptable block of IPs that can be
announced without adverse or unpredictable results? Verio would most likely
be picking up these routes from us. I don't want to cause a religious
debate, but I am interested in what the industry consensus is.

I'm just doing some research, any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
