• APNIC ☛ Unpopular opinion: BGP should accept smaller than a /24

  So, what exactly is the problem? To participate in BGP, the accepted norm is to have an IP block of a /24 (256 IPs) or more. There is really no technical reason why this has to be this way.

This was to save memory and establish Mutually Agreed Upon Norms for Routing Security (MANRS). Most companies that are good at BGP have filters designed to drop prefixes smaller than /24s. This has been the accepted norm forever.
