How many providers filter less than a /19? Can we not ask them to allow /20's from 'new' allocations? -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Burley [mailto:stephenb@uk.uu.net] Sent: 09 May 2000 9:59 To: lucks@indigo.ie Cc: Nurani Nimpuno; lir-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: Minimum allocation size This is a very good point, the only way round this is to have a mid way transit point so 2 companies would share an announcment of a /19 i can not see very many people agreeing to that. Maybe if 2 the registries have a common upstream provider the provider would agree to aggregate, but even then this causes problems when changing providers. Do you have any more concrete proposals than the basic statement?
