Hi all, I appreciate many people gave me advices, Some of persons asked me about my questions, I'm sorry for that I couldn't reply to everyone. Because of your help, I could get many opinions and standards regarding IP allocation policy. by the way, in APNIC's IP allocation sizes policy, there is a comments like below. "Below are the minimum sizes for allocations and assignments, This information is provided at the request of the ISP community to assist in filtering policy decisions " Currently, is there any provider filtering routes under LIR's minimum allocation size such as /22 ?

Suresh,
Yes, I guess my concern is close to the second meaning.
It seems so simple. Currently annoucement of /24 seems to be okey, most upstream providers accept this. However I wonder if there is any ground rule based on any standard or official recommandation. If there is some standardized rule about prefix length to be annouced, I will make my bgp & IP allocation policy of each data center of my company, and I will be able to more fairly and squarely speak to my customer like this "You have to change your server's IP address if you want move your server to other place"
