The Cidr Report

As you can see things are startng to move up recently. I'd suggest
folks take a look at the "Interesting Aggregates" section on the web
page as it appears there's been a large influx of routes
here. Particularly AS719 who look like they may have a config error
with many many /28s showing up. They aren't the only ones as there
seems to be a lot of potential savings to be made here just by
eye-balling the aggregates.

	Thanks,

  * It is not checked before it leaves my workstation.  However, hopefully 
  * you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look 
  * through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you 
  * perform.
  * 
  * The report is split into sections:
  * 
  *    0) General Status
  *    
  *       List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly
  *       bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes.
  * 
  *    1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level
  * 
  *       This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate
  *       their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could 
  *       make a significant difference in the reduction of the current 
  *       size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not 
  *       take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate
  *       so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible.
  * 
  *    2) Weekly Delta
  * 
  *       A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and
  *       added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does 
  *       give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly,
  *       it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls.
  * 
  *    3) Interesting aggregates
  * 
  *       Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of 
  *       classful routes.      
  * 
  * Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a
  * day. 
  * 
  * Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
