Trent going up again...
by Erik-Jan Bos 02 Jun '94

02 Jun '94

BGPD, Routing WG, using the historical data I have on the number of BGP entries in Amsterdam1.dante.net (starting 1 January 1994) the trent of the number of entries has been increasing, until a max value was hit of 20400. This was reached on Fri Apr 15 15:00:08 MET DST 1994. From this date on the trent of number of entries was downwards. Until 17683 (reached on Sun May 22 17:00:05 MET DST 1994) it was dropping. In the lastest graph I made, this afternoon, on the number of BGP entries in Amsterdam1.dante.net I see a slow, but steady, increase of entries since some time now. You might want to have a look at: gopher://gopher.nic.surfnet.nl:71/I9/surfnet/net-management/ip/nets.gif You can also retrieve either the gif or ps file from ftp.nic.surfnet.nl using anonymous FTP. The directory is surfnet/net-management/ip and the files are called: - nets.gif - nets.ps __ Erik-Jan.

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri May 27 18:35:01 MET DST 1994 This is a list of the "Top 10" players who if CIDRizing at the AS level could make a significant gain in the size of Internet routing tables. This may be an over-estimation but it is hoped that this can act as an incentive for the "Top 10" and others to look at their CIDR capability. A full summary of all the ASes seen in the Internet can be seen by looking in: ftp.ripe.net:cidr/stats/AS* Other interesting stats can also be found there.

Some possibly interesting graphs
by Tony Bates 13 May '94

13 May '94

Since I've started the statistics collection I've been keeping of routes and paths seen in the routing tables. This started on the 8th April. Seeing as we have a RIPE meeting coming up I did a couple of quickie gnuplot graphs. Maybe of interest. No real analysis done but shows an approximate 10% drop in both over the last month. Interesting big drop in paths on 29th April (coincidentally my birthday ;-)). This is a MIME message so you non-MIMEites we'll have to unpick the two postscript files below I'm afraid. --Tony.
