Also worth noting that Verio does a loose-rpf check on their borders, so there's a possibility your packets will be dropped to multihomed customers who *do* have your /24 (if your best-path back to them is via verio.)..

What is the smallest acceptable block of IPs that can be announced without adverse or unpredictable results? Verio would most likelybe 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.
