My understanding is that as long as you get a block from former class C or "the swamp", you should be visible everywhere. We recently requested, and got a /21 from 65/8 from Sprint. A phone call and some pleading got them to change that to 208.8.16.0/21
Having a prefix that happens to be visible from everywhere is different than having a prefix that belongs to an ASN. Your mail was unclear as to whether your /21 was its own seperate ASN or not. I have to wonder why a phone call and pleading were needed to get it out of 65/8 - was your /21 being filtered or hidden in some way? -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
