Folks, I see very often that customers in the US send morespecs all over the place, deaggregate whole /14s or such scary crap, ask us to accept random stuff out of 4/8 and 8/8 (L3 space) by example. I am practically asking what is (if any) the normal way for any of this. I am working by the principle that not everything I could do I should do, especially not right away. Is there any accepted procedure / policy for anyone to a) announce and b) accept (the transit supplier) and have that sanctioned formally? Maybe nobody cares, then tell me. ;-) Coming from Europe where pretty much everyone is RIPE LIR and has its own /21 at the least I might not see the problem that allegedly some (many) US ISPs do have. Enlighten me. (And, no, I do not fall for the urban legend that RIPE or ARIN are by default evil, clearly not. I do have real- life experience that whenever you can rightfully justify even large IP assignments you do get it.) Thanks, Alexander
