Greetings NANOG, I've always been under the impression its best practice to only announce prefixes of a /24 and above when it comes to IPv4 and BGP. I was wondering if something similar had been agreed upon regarding IPv6. And if That's the case, What's the magic number? /32? /48? /64?
Hi Nick, At this point, you can depend on being able to announce a /32 from any block and a /48 from an RIR block designated for end-user assignments. Many carriers have more permissive policies but all of any consequence now allow at least that. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
