I'm hoping to get some modest support here before jumping into the RIR policy shark tanks.
There is no RIR policy here. There is no authority which can tell you what length are prefixes are accepted. Each backbone network makes their own decision on how to filter their customers and peers. If backbones find it commercially worth while to accept /28's from customers and route them, they will do just that. Some will do it relatively quickly, others will hold out and filter them for years. This is not something RIR's, IETF, NANOG, or anyone else can fix, and in fact they should not try to fix. It will sort itself out, in due time. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
