I have a quick question about Verio's public peering policy. What is the smallest size prefix that Verio will accept from public peering? The reason why I ask is because my company informed me that Verio will not accept anything from a Class A address with a prefix smaller than a /20 from pubic peering. Is that true? If so, how do small ISP's work around this?
When I applied for a /21 from one of my upstreams (Sprint, in this case), they initially allocated a /21 out of former Class A space. A phone call and about 20 minutes later, they switched it to a /21 from 208/8. According to Verio's policy: In the traditional Class C space (i.e., 192/3), we accept /24 and shorter As far as I know, nobody major is filtering /21-/24 from Class C or the swamp...
