I may be missing the point here, but in a situation where the net won't route longer prefixes than /20, doesn't punching a /24 hole in a /20 render the entire /20 unusable, not just the /24 - because the carrier who formally advertised the /20 now has to advertise a bunch of /21,/22,/23 and /24 prefixes to cover the remainder?
Yes... hence why where possible I believe people with small networks should be encouraged to renumber when the moving providers. Right now, /24s are accepted almost everywhere and it doesn't look like anyone is going to refuse them anytime soon though but I still don't think that means we can be complacent. -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
