Dear Valdis;

If you mean AS   1312  VA-TECH-AS , we see 4 routes :

If you mean  AS  13546  VT-RICHMOND-AS, only one in BGP from 
AS 16517 : 208.16.73.0/24

In MBGP, we only see two of these routes.
Two others are aggregated into Sprint address blocks :

63.164.28.0 
208.16.73.0

while 192.70.187.0 does not appear at all and is not MBGP routable from us.
