Sorry for the newbie question:


Is there a consensus on the maximum network prefix length that can be accepted
for announcement between full-routing BGp speakers ?

        The absolute limit is a /32.
        Depending on whom you talk to and where your prefixen lay,
        the other values range from /24 to /18.
