Or a lot less care and letting classful size announcments leak out and not aggregating to the allocation folks were given. To highlight I pick the last 50 classful entries I see in the 193, 198 and 206 range just to give a random sample and to illustrate.
this is what i was getting at in my note a week ago or so. it appears that many more networks are being announced by 2+ as's. so i'm assuming we're sort of doomed to poor aggregation as more and more people dual-home to providers. and i still see some pretty poor aggregation (like /22's and /24's) in some recent allocations. -brett
