And what's small? CNN with a /24? eBay with a /24? Traffic wise they are certainly not small, visability wise they are certainly not small, and I'm pretty sure no one here will claim that. Yet both annouce /24's out of the Classful C space and get listened to (atleast by Verio who is a known filterer).
And don't forget, if they had asked for address space back in 1988-1990 they would be announcing a /16, and using a /24 of it. The average routing announcement has gotten smaller as a result of tighter allocation policies. The use 80% rule and all that. Of course all the growth is in small prefixes. You can't get a large prefix these days, and if you get a smaller one that should be aggregatable to a larger prefix next time you ask the likelyhood it will still be there when you ask for it is low. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
