Are you suggesting that the Tier 1 and 2's that I connect to are not filtering out anything shorter than /24? My expectation is that they are dropping shorter than /24, just like I am.
Not exactly, but it's not what the other poster is implying either. Many providers let a customer multi-home to the provider. That is they provide two circuits from two different POPs to the customer. Allocate the customer a /27-/29 from the provider's supernet. The customer announces these small blocks back to the provider to get high availability. The provider does not announce externally, because it is part of the supernet. In Cisco speak: ip prefix-list my-supernets-small-subnets permit 10.0.0.0/8 ge 24 ip prefix-list my-supernets-small-subnets permit 172.16.0.0/12 ge 24 ! ...some route-map customer-in stuff... ! route-map customer-in permit 100 match ip prefix-list my-supernets-small-subnets set community 1234:1234 1234:5678 no-export ! ...some route-map customer-in stuff... ! Yes, many tier 1's will allow longer than /24 _from their customers_ and _out of their supernets_, and will not reannounce them. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
