But IP addresses aren't really fungible, are they? What's the smallest block you could actually transfer to someone in another part of the world?

- tacticus 12y agoa /24 at the moment and let's enjoy watching routing tables explode if that becomes the norm.
- hhw 12y agoGenerally, a /24 is the smallest block for which most networks will accept BGP advertisements. You'd generally purchase a /22-/20 or larger though. Note that in most cases, these are (part of) blocks that were assigned before the current regional registries existed, as blocks allocated through the registries aren't actually owned.
