Dear Geoff; I just noticed the remarkable flattening in the recent growth of the BGP table in your BGP graphs at : http://www.telstra.net/ops/bgp/index.html It didn't even seem this striking at Minneapolis. Is this cessation of growth real ? Is this a sign of the recent economic slow-down, or is there some more technical explanation (such as more aggressive aggregation at Telstra)?
