To be accepted into Verio's space per the URL that
forrest@almighty.c64.org pasted... you are correct. I still think this
is a rare method of filtering... and perhaps Verio will change their
policy to be /24 everywhere once the Classfull C ranges are gone. As
others have mentioned... not all providers filter in the same way, and
sometimes the methods are not published..... Its relatively safe to
make a *vague* judgement that a /24 will get you reachable via *most* of
the net.
