BGP & CIDR blocks

Except that you are *wrong*.

You'd have to register with the RADB (which your upstream should have done
for you if you got address space from them). If you have your own CIDR
block, then you should register with the RADB. Then make an AS-MACRO for
yourself. Then tell yout transiter to include your AS-Macro in theirs;
you're done.

-- This is not a endorsement of the RADB or the RA's;  moreover, it's just
so you realize what is happening. See http://www.ra.net/ for more info.
