I've had a question on this for some time that maybe can get answered here. Let's assume for a moment that I have a network of 209.123/18 (1/4 of a classful B). Let's further assume that my upstream filters me with: access-list 2002 permit ip host 209.123.0.0 host 255.255.0.0 neigh 2.3.4.5 distrib 2002 in Will my /18 announcement make it through this /16 filter? Would the same be true with a prefix-length filter, which I assume the syntax would be: ip prefix-list 1 permit 209.123.0.0/16 neigh 2.3.4.5 prefix-list 1 in Thanks. On Wed, 7 Apr 1999, R.P.

This should probably be moved to cisco-nsp if it gets any more in-depth, however:
Cisco: could we please have more config memory, so we can load access-lists for even huge BGP peers?
Although you're probably asking for exactly what you say, config memory, it might also be useful to use prefix-lists to filter routing announcements:

and the notes on bug CSCdk93005 seem to indicate that prefix-lists do make a difference and should be used over access-lists for filtering routes...
Hope that helps, Adi
