Re: nested prefixes in Internet

I don't think I ever said that ISP-B would announce the /19.  That would 
only be announced by ISP-A.  ISP-B would only announce the /24 that has 
been delegated to it.

If the ISP-A/ISP-B link goes down then the /24 would be seen only via 
ISP-C which is the desired result.
