Hi everyone, I just happened to notice something: AS18566 755 7 748 99.1% CVAD Covad Communications AS27364 441 33 408 92.5% ARMC Armstrong Cable Services AS22773 416 24 392 94.2% CXA Cox Communications Inc. AS21502 272 3 269 98.9% ASN-NUMERICABLE NUMERICABLE is a cabled network in France, AS14654 262 6 256 97.7% WAYPOR-3 Wayport AS25844 244 17 227 93.0% SASMFL-2 Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP AS4814 213 6 207 97.2% CHINA169-BBN CNCGROUP IP network��China169 Beijing Broadband Network Of these, the CIDR-report entries with > 90% deaggregation, 6 are high-speed Internet providers, and one's a lawfirm. Clearly, all of them can be described as "leaf" ASes. None of them seem to have multihoming customers (or at least not THAT many). I seem to remember a person from Covad saying that their deaggregation was going to be temporary (http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2004-11/msg00366.html) for some value of temporary, but what about the others? Any of the rest of you want to speak up and explain this? ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

It is about as temporary as a whole lot of other temporary things have been over the years I suspect. Anyway - as Brad Roldan of covad posted -
Our superblocks are also being advertised, for those of you that want to filter our routes.
Want to discuss further? Great. Call me or email me directly. Contact info is below.
Think you can do it better? Even better. It turns out I'm hiring. :)
So I guess till Brad hires someone who thinks he can do better wrt avoiding random eastern european providers leaking covad specifics, those of y'all who want to can just accept his superblock advertisements and forget about the deaggregates. I don't suspect that the world is suddenly going to be rid of providers in remote corners of the world who fatfinger their router configs, or that everybody's suddenly going to adopt bcp38 and stop bogus advertisements in their tracks .. so we just resign ourselves to seeing entries like those remain fixtures in future cidr reports as well :( --srs --srs
