How rigorously that is followed is another story :-) ISPs who filter based on prefix length according to RIR minimum allocation sizes should not block a route based on such an assignment, assuming their filters are up-to-date. Whether or not any particular prefix is blocked is best determined experimentally (e.g. feed a box with two interface addresses from different ranges a list of hosts to ping at a polite, low frequency, and compare the results sourced from each address). I have had dealings with many ISPs who have announced blocks based on fairly long-prefix assignments from RIRs, following policies such as ARIN's multi-homing assignment policy, and I haven't heard of any substantial problems due to the prefix length. James' MMV, of course. I don't think you can specifically request that ARIN assign you space out of the swamp these days.You can request anything you like. Whether it makes a difference is another thing entirely :-) Joe
