I think its more of a "lets produce a place to draw the line" otherwise, where does it stop ? if we take your argument then we would all be advertising prefix lists in lots of /32's anyone want to accept BGP advertisements for my /31 :-) (Yes, that was a joke on multiple levels - abeit a poor one.) -- Steve.

Its only local stuff (Net4U). It's not like you are handling a zillion routes for NZ ISP peering.

What is the problem?

Hi, Could ISP's currently peering with Net4U at APE kindly add the below listed network to the net4u's current prefix-list:

202.147.35.128/25

I'm curious how many places will actually accept a /25.

Best practice is usually not to allow anything more specific than a /24.
