I have a question about the subnet size for BGP peers. Typically when we turn up a new BGP customer we turn them up on a /29 or a /30. That seems to
be the "norm". We connect to many of our BGP peers with ethernet. It would be a simple matter to allocate a /24 for connectivity to the customer on a shared link. This would help save on some address space. My question is, is this in general good or bad idea? Have others been down this path and found that it was a bad idea? I can see some of the pothols on this path (BGP session hijacking, incorrectly configured customer routers etc). These issues could be at least partially mitigated. Are there larger issues when doing something like this or is it a practical idea? -- Jim Wininger -- Jim Wininger jbot...@gmail.com
