I don't think I ever said that ISP-B would announce the /19. That would only be announced by ISP-A. ISP-B would only announce the /24 that has been delegated to it.
If the ISP-A/ISP-B link goes down then the /24 would be seen only via ISP-C which is the desired result.
What if ISP-A then receives traffic inside its /19 destined for ISP-B's /24? It will have to send it over transit and won't bill ISP-B for that traffic. You cannot expect 100% of the rest of the Internet to honour the more specific all the time.
Is that a real problem? In my experience a /24 is honoured almost universially. If we assume the big tier 1 transit providers honour the /24 announcement, the only possible way for ISP-A to receive traffic via the /19 is if ISP-A is directly peered with someone that ignores the /24. Even if some small amount of traffic does go that route, it might not be viewed as a problem as the volume is likely to be very low. Regards, Baldur
