You can get a /24, but when you go to a /23 you _will_ renumber, and soforth up to a /19 or so, at which time when you need more you get an additional prefix. That way you limit it to 1 route per ASN for small players, and everyone can multihome. -- Leo Bicknell - [email protected] Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - [email protected], www.tmbg.org
