Hi-
I'm working on a project within a large corporation and asked their network folks about getting a /19 from one of their /16s. I wanted it to avoid NAT and any possible overlapping from using RFC1918 addresses. This project gets connected to the internet at different times throughout the year at different locations through different ISPs. I would announce the /19 for a short period of time, maybe a month or so.
The response I got back was that this was impossible since ISPs require an announcement of the /16 the /19 would come from.
Maybe one of the (fairly rare, from what I see) actors that ingress filter (or takes into account those small few that does) by allocation? (What prefixes are yopu talking about?) mh
I have done work with ISPs before (and have read the NANOG list for many years) but haven't heard of such a requirement nor can I find any standards that indicate the same thing.
Does anyone have requirements of a /19 announcement requires the /16 to be there as well? The company has plenty of /16s that it uses internally that are not being announced on the Internet at all.
Thanks-
-Eric
