Is it safe to assume[*] that an announced /23 will not be filtered by any
major (or even the minor) backbones? We just got our ARIN allocation (and
I won't go into that, the lag time was all my fault), and I'm currently
planning allocation for some remote offices and a couple of hosted
buildouts. I'm hoping to not have to announce anything larger than a /23
from any one site unless necessary.
