eh, these end up (I think) aggregated on the edge router, so you get 5
/32's from a /23 (or the like) routed to the edge layer3 device. not
as bloaty for the rest of their network as it at first seems.

owen, seen the config on a live router, yes they are routed as /32's
to the VC you are connected to. I probably have the config for my old
link in IM/email somewhere. apparently their automation either doesn't
understand CIDR, or it was 'too expensive' to make the automation do
CIDR once they started to offer extra ips to the business customers.
