Have there been talks about the best practices to accept things smaller than a /24?
Hi Justin, The short version is: it could happen but it won't. There's no technical obstacle. It's purely administrative. Tens of thousands of organizations would have to agree to accept smaller prefixes.That would only happen if there was something in it for them to start doing so, something major. And even then it would be a hard lift. There isn't. Some of those organizations run BGP set up by the last guy, the current gut doesn't really grok it, and he certainly doesn't subscribe to any information channels where it's discussed. So it's not going to happen. Regards, Bill Herrin -- For hire. https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
