When I applied for a /21 from one of my upstreams (Sprint, in this case),
they initially allocated a /21 out of former Class A space. A phone call
and about 20 minutes later, they switched it to a /21 from 208/8.
According to Verio's policy:
In the traditional Class C space (i.e., 192/3), we accept /24 and shorter
As far as I know, nobody major is filtering /21-/24 from Class C or the
swamp...
