I'm curious to know how many of those UU customers are just waiting for their contracts to expire before giving them the big F.U. -----Original Message----- From: Richard A Steenbergen [mailto:ras@e-gerbil.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:09 PM To: jlewis@lewis.org Cc: Brian; nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: sprint passes uu?

Sprint customers are also UU customers. i.e. The combination of Sprint and UU customer routes could still be just 47637 prefixes, though I'm sure it's somewhere between that and 47637+45410. It's certainly not 47637+45410, which would falsely suggest that together Sprint and UU have roughly 80% of the internet as customers.
Well, just by checking the "big" providers off the top of my head, I come up with: ASN Routes Common Name ---- ------ ----------- 1239 47711 Sprint 701 45429 UU 3561 23205 CW 7018 23154 AT&T 1 20231 BBN/Genuity 209 17082 Qwest 3356 12587 Level 3 3549 12175 GBLX 6453 10403 Teleglobe 2914 8791 Verio 6461 8089 MFN/AboveNet 4200 7506 Aleron/Agis 1299 6773 Telia 5511 4261 OpenTransit 4637 4066 Reach 16631 2067 Cogent 2828 1842 XO 4006 1727 NetRail/Cogent ----- 256984 Which of course ignores many dozens of 1-2k route providers. Now, of course number of routes has absolutily nothing to do with amount of traffic (ex: AOL, which anounces 400 some routes (and a lot of those are RoadRunner) but is one of if not the single the most important sink of traffic in the world), but it's interesting nevertheless. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
