Doesn't this mean that unless filtering policies change, after Class C space is used up, the multihomer will have to get a /22 from the ISP (since after Class C gets used up allocations will be made from Class A space). There are only three /8s left in the Class C space.
No. Providers who you don't pay to carry your route can reach you through the larger aggregate. In fact, even the /24 requirement can be ignored if all your providers reach each other directly or can convince their transit providers to carry smaller routes. DS
