I wouldn't say they are nuts, rather.. inconsiderate for the growing concerns of my poor core routers that are screaming at me... "no more /24s! no more /24s" rob
I would expect the world to see the following announcements.
A - I announcing a shorter prefix, A B - P announcing a more specific for the /24 allocated to C
Is this not what we all expect?
Sounds like the right thing to me.
Why I ask is we have provider P telling I that they should stop announcing A and instead announce a bunch of prefixes around the /24.
They're nuts.
