Re: Smallest netblock that providers will accept?

Your assumption is generally true with most any provider. They may
even accept something smaller, but it won't make it very far if less
than /24. It's also a good idea to announce a covering prefix in case
some peer network filters on IRR minimums.

Hello All,

I am curious as to the routing polices of the bigger providers such as
ATT, L3, Internap, Qwest, Etc Etc...  Is there a standard size
netblock that these providers will accept? For instance, if customer
"A" gets a /22 from ARIN and his upstream provider is ATT and L3, what
would the smallest block be that those providers would accept from
customer "A"? Would they accept something as small as a /24?

Thanks,
Mike
