Re: Your class 'B' address space

Austin,

If the reason for filtering small block of space is to keep small companies not generating a lot of traffic from polluting routing space I don't think this applies.

Ouch. Traffic generation has absolutely no relation to prefix length filtering. The reason the filters are in place is because there are very few tools available to limit the growth of routing tables and filtering based on prefix length is a simple to implement unilateral mechanism that (theoretically) encourages people to think about their actions prior to flooding the routing system with long prefixes. If any of this is new to you (as it would appear to be), I'd strongly recommend reviewing the old CIDRD archives (wherever they might be). Regards, -drc
