Sprint used to have a nice page describing what ranges were filtered and dampened to what level, and when I was involved, most other provides who filtered took their lead from them, as Sprint was pretty vicious. I notice they now say you will need to contact mailto:noc(a)sprint.net to find out. You may want to check with them. I think you need to make it clear to the customer that the risk of using such blocks is either network unavailability from various networks, or more-likely that they will be disproportionately dampened should there be network instability, resulting in extended outage periods. It is my personal impression that APNIC haven't got too much value to add in this discussion, they would probably like the addresses back, but don't really have any authority over what is and isn't do-able in the real world.

I'd want to ask the question why do you (or the customer) want to do this. There may be no problem advertising the /24 today but there may be in the future. Why not use address space from your provider? We all have a responsibility to try to do the 'right thing' with address space. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
For me it is easier if they don't have them, but the decision is not mine. I have explained why they shouldn't to our non technical manager type guy, but to him it's a matter of $ and customer happiness. :D - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
