-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 No, it's not mis-sized. And no, you should advertise it all. I would advertise the /44 without reservation. Stuart Sheldon ACT USA AS22937 On 08/07/2014 01:58 PM, John York wrote:

We (a multi-homed end-user site) are finally getting IPv6-enabled Internet connectivity from one of our ISPs. In conversations regarding our BGP config, the ISP has balked at allowing us to advertise our ARIN-assigned /44, saying things like, "do you know how many addresses that is!!??"
Am I way off base in thinking this network size is not out of the norm? I know it's a lot of addresses (19 octillion-something?), but that assignment was based on the same criteria that got us a /22 in v4 space. Should accepting a /44 in v6 not be equivalent, policy-wise, to accepting a /22 in v4?
Thanks, John
