Could I ask a question related to this topic?  I have been getting varying
answers and presume the accurate answer will come from this list.

My company has a /20 out of the traditional Class C space.  We want to use
those addresses rather than the addresses our ISP would give us.  We have
asked the ISP if they can announce a /24 out of that block, and they have
said "sure".  However, I have read here about announcement filtering.

Will certain providers filter that /24?  We have two reasons for using our
own space.  First, we can get redundancy by connecting with two ISPs and
having them both announce the network (or have one announce if the other
dies).  Second, we can carve up our /20 in /24s and use them for different
Internet POPs for our company (e.g. one in the states, one in Europe, one
in the Pacific Rim, etc.).

I am primarily a security person but unfortunately our LAN and WAN people
know less about this than I so I am trying to decide what we should do.
Any help or information about the logical design I mentioned would be
greatly appreciated.


Matt
