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. But I've broken my /20 into a /21 for Ottawa, a /22 for Toronto, a /23 for Montreal, and a /23 for expansion. I'm currently only getting transit in Toronto, but will have a second transit provider restored in Ottawa (I was using GT for a short while). While announcing the the /20 will my network is reachable for single-homed Verio customers, it won't provide the true best path that simply accepting the regional more specifics. -Ralph
