Implementing v6 is important, but unrelated to allowing smaller v4 prefixes. Not taking a position either way if smaller v4 prefixes is good or bad. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <chris () noskillz com> To: "Justin Wilson (Lists)" <lists () mtin net> Cc: nanog () nanog org Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2023 2:24:29 PM Subject: Re: Smaller than a /24 for BGP? I would suggest that this is trying to solve the wrong problem. To me this is pressure to migrate to v6, not alter routing rules.

I qm seeing more and more scenarios where folks need to participate in BGP but they do not need a full /24 of space. Seems wasteful. I know this would bloat the routing table immensely. I know of several folks who could split their /24 into /25s across a few regions and still have plenty of IP space.
