Todd,
If this helps. Do something like the following...
telnet route-views.oregon-ix.net > /tmp/file
term len 0
sh ip bgp 69.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 l
quit
cut -c62-2000 < /tmp/file | awk '{print $1}' | sort -n | uniq -c | more
...your commands will vary.
You will see plenty of routes within 69/8.
A closer look with show that around 121 routes are seen in the 69/8 range via most of the feeds into Oregon. There is one big exception...
69.4.64.0/20
... it shows up via AS-2548 (Digex) and the other feeds, but it's the only route within 69/8 that shows up via AS-2548. This is valuable information.
It does not mean there is filtering within AS-2548, but I would recommend you contact them to further this investigation.
BTW: This is exactly what Oregon is great for! It shows up issues like this with ease. Thanks!
Martin
