I was wondering about this since, there has been a paper (see below) published in 2002 that said that most of the RRCs peering sessions were multi-hop eBGP sessions and as a result the BGP data collected here cannnot be an accurate refelction of what goes on the actual Internet/backbone routers.
Actually, if you look at the peering statistics available on the DB status page:
http://www.ris.ripe.net/cgi-bin/rrcstatus.cgi
you will see that the multihop sessions on RRC00 only make up a small minority of RIS peerings.
but, in 2001-2, was this the case? randy
