Hi Ofcourse the said network to be advertised is allocated and is registered as allocated to an ISP. However there is no route object for it ie say /20 of the network is assigned and the remaining part is not. Could is it right to announce the whole /16 yet only /20 has been assigned Wycliffe On Wed, 2005-03-30 at 17:11, Gert Doering wrote:

Do some providers out there have a problem accepting announcements that do not have route objects created.
Yes. Without a route: object, there is no way to check whether the announcement is legitimate.
I am considering a fact that an ISP could have a /16 however it has not assigned this address to anybody, however they need to announce this in order to assign this to there customers.
You don't need to have an assignment in the /16 to announce the whole allocation. But it must be allocated to the ISP in question, of course.
