From: Dalvenjah FoxFire <dalvenja@ict.org> I'm not sure if this is the most completely wrong place to ask this question, so please forgive me if it is, but I'm not sure where else to ask it...

This is the right place, as you are talking about operational issues.

As someone who's about to renumber a public school district from a /24 to something else, what would be the smallest network to get (from InterNIC) that would pretty much be guaranteed to be routed for the next few years? I'm thinking a /22 at the moment, but am not sure.

Granted the best solution would be go to our provider (all the schools in Santa Clara County, CA go through the county office of education for internet access) and have them get an /18 or something and distribute that, but they don't seem to want that. Should I push them for this solution?

Yes, you should. If all traffic goes that way, it is the root of the topology. Please renumber topologically. WSimpson@UMich.edu Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32 BSimpson@MorningStar.com Key fingerprint = 2E 07 23 03 C5 62 70 D3 59 B1 4F 5E 1D C2 C1 A2
