[mature-tony-77] grep AS701 Specific.15Apr94 N 198.84.4.0/22 AS701 198.84.4.0 198.84.7.0 4 0 I see a big saving of 3 routes so far. I do not mean this as a personal gripe at AS701 but the big gains will undoubtedly come from the big ASes. So perhpas we need to chase these down first. Just to be fair here is the status of the "big 10" ASes and their classful (i.e in the tables now) and classles status (in the tables now) as of last night. ASnum Classful Aggs Routes Description potentially saved* AS701 1204 1 3 ALTERNET-AS AS174 1134 0 0 NYSERNET-AS AS372 977 0 0 NSN-AMES-AS AS1717 747 0 0 RENATER AS19 632 0 0 CSS-DOMAIN AS786 590 0 0 The JANET IP Service AS2551 571 3 374 NETCOM-AS AS560 569 0 0 NEARNET-EXT-AS AS1225 538 0 0 CICNET3-AS AS200 525 3 1316 BARRNET-AS * this is done by looking at the aggregates and taking out the more specifics. However, this is the potential routes saved as some of these aggs (i.e. the AS200) would probably not have been fully advertised in the classful world. I hope my point is clear. This top 10 represents about a 1/3 of all the routes we keep worrying about. End story. --Tony.
