I only have 10 /24's that are absolutely mission critical to keep up. We have scaled back our IP usage, and we are a lot more efficient than we were before about the IP space. We are pretty well connected, so I would bet we would have a shorter AS path than many other networks (particularly ones that would make a mistake like that). --Phil -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of E.B.

How did you arrive at 10x /24's? What about when someone else has a shorter as-path, or it gets to "oldest route wins"? Polluting the IRRs for little/no benefit is a bad thing.
