Depends on what class it's in. Let me explain further. Verio, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that they are going to throw CIDR right out the window. We own 64.240.0.0-64.242.255.255. We advertise MANY smaller blocks of this space obviously, and what we have found is that in that space (since it is "Class A" space, remember we don't know what CIDR is since we're Verio) is that Verio does not accept anything smaller than a /20. Now many of our customers run BGP with us and advertise a /24 only, I guess they're SOL as far as Verio is concerned (actually if it's our space they're probably going to see the larger aggregate as well, so it's not as big of a deal, but still mighty annoying). Oh, and did I mention that Verio isn't even one of our peers? Oh well.
Maybe if you aggregated your announcements instead of feeding a /14 to us as /22, /23, and /24 blocks, it wouldn't be necessary to do minimum-allocation filtering. -travis
