[routing-wg]More specific prefix announce
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/209886b666cd999c9c06c0c867154411.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hello. Unfortunately, I'm not so experienced in the question to anwer that. Therefore I ask for help and will be thankful for any clarification. We have a /20 ASSIGNED PI address block and an AS. Is it allowed by RIPE policy to intentionally announce more specific prefix than one we have from our AS to upstream ASes? For example, announce our X.X.0.0/20 to upstream A and announce both X.X.0.0/20 and X.X.6.0/23 to B? -- Denis Tatarskikh [UdSU/MF] [UdSU/IC] mailto:dendy@udsu.ru

It is not disallowed. What's more - it is common practice to perform incoming capacity engineering in this way.

But, IMHO, preferably in a multiple interconnection to a single AS scenario only (having that AS export the shortest prefix only). Mh

Imho, the AS in questionn should export both the aggregate and the more specifics, but set community no-export to the more specifics ...

Sure, the receiver (upstream AS) keeping it AS local that is. That's the way it works, that's what I suggested (*). Sorry, perhaps my wording a bit brief. Cheers, Mh (*) or rather recycled from BCP.

Yes. RIPE has no rules regarding BGP announcements. Wether it's a good practice and/or socially accepted is a different matter. :-) Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0

Hello! In practice, it works fine. You might like to set a hole: line in X.X.0.0/20 route object for X.X.6.0/23, and also create a separate route object for X.X.6.0/23.
