Specifically RIPE are allocating /19s as their default allocation window to local-IRs. They don't charge per block but they charge a yearly fee for being a local-IR.
Nice to read something correct for a change. Thanks! ;-(
Sprint in its wisdom is filtering those in 195/8 (great theory, but a bit problematic in practice when it can't agree with one of the larger registries on what size to filter)
I happen to agree and Sprint happens to have changed their policy to one that happens to be compatible with the NCC's allocation policy in the meantime.
with the result there are now likely to be 50% more adverts (i.e. 2x/19 and an additional /18 - /19 still necessary to get ANS to work as you can't put a /18 route object in the database).
Yes you can! If you have a /18 allocation you should announce it as such and put a /18 route object in the database. Can you be more specific on why it did not work for you? Daniel
