Hi Richard,

I was working on almost the same thing... :-) As from next Friday, my 
routing report will include the top 20 ASes which are announcing prefixes 
more specific than the registry minimum allocation (/20), more specific 
than a /24 from 192/8 space, more specific than a /16 from former B space, 
more specific than a /8 from former A space...

A taster follows:

Advertised prefixes smaller than registry allocations

There is no attempt to measure aggregation - that's the job of the CIDR 
Report. This simply looks at the prefix announced and if it is outside the 
above limits, it is counted. Makes very interesting reading...
