Cloudflare measures the Magic Transit <GlossaryTooltip term="prefix">prefix</GlossaryTooltip> count based on the number of prefixes a customer announces through Cloudflare. The size of the prefix does not matter; there is no commercial or technical restriction. However, prefixes can only be announced exactly as they were provisioned. For example, a `/20` prefix onboarded to Magic Transit can only be announced as a `/20`. Smaller subnets that constitute the `/20` cannot be announced individually. To announce 16 individual `/24s` subnets within the `/20` subnet mask, for example, requires onboarding all 16 subnets individually. If this disaggregated setup is desired, the total Magic Transit prefix count will increase.

Cloudflare measures the Magic Transit prefix count based on the number of <GlossaryTooltip term="prefix">prefixes</GlossaryTooltip> a customer onboards. The size of each prefix does not matterthere are no commercial or technical restrictions based on prefix length. However, prefixes must be announced exactly as they were provisioned. For example, if a customer onboards a `/20` prefix to Magic Transit, it can only be announced as a `/20`. Smaller sub-prefixes (such as `/24s`) within that `/20` cannot be announced individually unless they are onboarded separately. Onboarding a larger aggregate prefix does not automatically include its smaller subnets for announcement or billing purposes.

List all prefixes and the [autonomous systems (ASNs)](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/network-layer/what-is-an-autonomous-system/) where they should originate. When specifying prefixes, observe these guidelines:

If a customer wants to announce 16 individual `/24` prefixes that fall within a `/20`, they must onboard all 16 `/24s` as distinct prefixes, in addition to the `/20` if desired. In such a disaggregated setup, the total Magic Transit prefix count increases, as each onboarded prefix — including any sub-prefixes — is treated as a separate billable unit.

Provide all IP prefixes you plan to onboard, along with the [Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/network-layer/what-is-an-autonomous-system/) from which they will be advertised. When specifying prefixes, observe these guidelines:

- Prefixes must support at least 256 hosts (`/24` in classless inter-domain [routing](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/network-layer/what-is-routing/) CIDR notation). Refer to [Use a Cloudflare IP](/magic-transit/cloudflare-ips/) if you do not meet the `/24` prefix length requirement.

- Internet Routing Registry entries and <GlossaryTooltip term="letter of agency">Letters of Agency (LOA)</GlossaryTooltip> must match the prefixes and originating prefixes you submit to Cloudflare.
