please ONLY announce your /18. Do NOT announce any subnets. Specifically
do not announce /24 or /30 subnets. This adds unnecessary bloat to the
internet routing table.
If you have contiguos /18 of address space you should not bloat the internet
routing tables with anything more than a single announcement for your
address space.
