Correct on 'knee' but for crying out loud, follow the pointy clicky
references to the website. Of course there isn't going to be a curve
in email [you want ascii plots? how 1980s], but the email quite
clearly points you the way to the site where there is some analysis
of the raw data.
For many of us, the mail is a reminder 'here's the current raw info,
check the detailed stuff over here'. There is no secret cabal or
hidden ionfo, the report email
Joe, finding it a sad state of affairs that he must cut and paste
"http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/plota?file=%2fvar%2fdata%2fbgp%2fas4637%2fbgp%2dactive%2etxt&descr=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&ylabel=Active%20BGP%20entries%20%28FIB%29&with=step" into this message for people to
actually look at the graph.
PS "2001 bellovin bush griffin rexford" entered into google hits the
specific reference quite nicely - sorry i didn't include the title.
as michael pointed out the specific links migrate all the time, so
i was purposefully avoiding 'where it can be found at this moment'
