FWIW, we advert three routes: /22, /22, /23. A couple of /24s will be announced soon. Like Jeff, we'd gladly renumber, into a single /20 in our case. When we're through getting beaten up by ARIN and get a PI /20, we'll do just that. In the mean time, we'll keep advertising 3x as many routes as we should.
*IF* you get a /20. I don't know how anal ARIN is about it, but looking at the rough numbers you posted, I'm not sure you technically qualify. I could be wrong...at a remote pop at the moment waiting for cisco TAC to call me back at the moment, so can't double-check. Our experience was that we had a couple of /24's, a couple of /23's and a /20. ARIN gave us another /20 without any requirements to renumber out of any of our existing blocks (which, to be quite honest, we were expecting to have to do). If they had given us a /19, we'd have been fine (not looking *forward* to the process of renumbering, but perfectly willing to do so) with the process of renumbering out of one or more of our older blocks. Again, not only is the incentive to renumber into more aggregatable blocks not there, there's actually a *dis*incentive to do so. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
