I see the cause of the discrepancy now. Bumped up our RIB against Route Views, and I see lots of disaggregation on Route Views that isn't present in our RIB. Had no idea we were being shielded from *that* many /24's.

Many apologies for the Friday night stupidity :(

Absolutely no need to apologise - what you are seeing is that BGP is used for both basic reachability and traffic engineering, and the most reliable way for a route advertiser to dictate pol;icies to others is to use more specific prefixes. Little wonder that more specifics account for 52% of the BGP RIB in IPv4. Geoff
