Provider P allocates a block of address space A to customer, I an ISP. I allocates a /24, call it B, out of that block to one of their customers, C. C later leaves ISP I and gets a wire directly from provider P. I wishes to give C time to renumber. I would expect the world to see the following announcements. A - I announcing a shorter prefix, A B - P announcing a more specific for the /24 allocated to C Is this not what we all expect? Why I ask is we have provider P telling I that they should stop announcing A and instead announce a bunch of prefixes around the /24. randy
