Chi Young, let me clarify one thing here ..

Do you mean IP allocation as in subnet allocation, swipping in apnic
or through a rwhois server etc?

Or do you mean "what is the minimum subnet size I can announce on the
internet and have other providers not drop it on the floor"?

Hi everyone,

I'm going to rebuild IP allocation policy of my company and I am looking for some standard reference for my policy.
I have already studied some standard like RFC1518, RIPE181, RFC2050 and I got it is very important to maintain 
hierachy structure.
However, what I am really wondering is what is the most standard subnet length that always can be guaranteed through 
Internet. less than /24 bit ?
I could not find any documents about that, which subnet length is most proper value and pursue internet standard 
policy ?
