IPv6 BGP table size comparisons

Wed Dec 22 03:06:40 UTC 2010

Looks like AS13722 (Default Route, Inc), is advertising both
2607:ff08:cafe::/48 and 2607:ff08::/32.

While looking at whats missing, I found this interesting /48.

+2607:fed0::/32
+2607:fed8::/32
+2607:ff08:cafe::/48
+2607:ff20::/32

The 2607:ff08::/32 is visible on Cogent.  But I guess they are not
serving coffee there, only on TATA and HE.
