Hi Andy, Verio says they accept old class-a space at the /22 orshorter level so that isn't it. I am fairly certain you can not successfully multihome with PA class-A space.. If you are not announcing that /22 to AT&T then anyone that is single-homed to AT&T (or preferring them) will probably not be able to reach your /22. I ran into this problem with some 4/8 space that Level3 assigned to me by mistake. So you are dealing with more of a Policy issue rather than general prefix filter. -Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Ellifson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 6:28 PM Subject: Re: Pitfalls of annoucing /24s > > I have a /24 allocated to my by XO Communications in Phoenix, AZ > (67.X.X.0/24).
