Re: [44net] BGP - What am I to do ??

That way, there is no need for every individual to go through this path and maybe incur costs that are not dependent on the subnet size and thus are much larger althogether when everyone announces their individual subnet rather than centrally announcing larger networks, shared by several end-users. Furthermore it avoids waste of address space, as BGP on internet must be /24 or larger, and individual users often do not need such large subnets, but only get them allocated due to BGP policy limits.  On our own backbone network we can announce as small as /32 using BGP, and by default I allocate /28 to individuals who want a subnet.
