I understand that it is not to everyone's benefit to filter on the /19 boundary like Sprint does but it seems to be prudent to adopt a /8 filter on most of the old class A space and a /16 filter on the old class B space. Other than the need to update these filters as the former class A space is subdivided I can see no major downside.
Comments?
What about the cable providers that have chunks of 24/8?
62/8, 63/8 and 64/8 are being assigned now.
Not quite, part or all 62/8 is being assigned by RIPE NCC in Europe, and they don't give out smaller netblocks than /19's. We have 62.216/19 for example. The not smaller than /19 is common policy of RIPE btw. Mike. -- Miquel van | Cistron Internet Services -- Alphen aan den Rijn.
