As a customer you pay them to announce your /23, as a peer you don't. Their line of logic is that if you are a peer of theirs you don't have to accept that /23 either. > Announcing a covering /20 along with the regional more specifics I have > will only serve to increase the size of the routing table for most > backbones, and lead to sub optimal routing in some cases since I'm > announcing the more specifics due to geographical diversity. Announce the /20 to your transit providers, and the more specifics with no-export. Verio's position is that they don't want to or need to hear your /23s unless you are a customer, and for the most part they are right. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
