I've been told by many that most national providers filter any prefix greater then a /20 such as sprint and verio. -Seth David McGaugh writes:
/24's are sufficient to multihome with most if not all providers out there. Why not conventionally multi-home to 2 large well established providers?

Hi
We have a small network (5 /24s) and we need to host our web applications internally because they access backend servers that absolutely cannot be collocated. I am thinking about getting 2 T1s or fractional DS3s from InterNAP from different P-NAPS (1 from Philly and 1 from NY) each circuit from a different CO
The reason that Im thinking InterNAP is because we dont qualify for a /20 and we would not be able to efficiently multi-home. It seems that InterNAP is perfect in our situation because they buy transit from multiple providers and claim to not have any black holes in their network.
I hear many great things about InterNAP and I hear the opposite as well.
Any thoughts would GREATLY be appreciated
Thanks!
