We all know that /24s have run amuck. According to the APNIC bgp
statistics (http://www.apnic.net/stats/bgp) view of the internet, the
current prefix distribution looks:
Routing Table Report June 08, 2001
BGP routing table entries examined: 106727
Number of prefixes announced per prefix length (Global)
-------------------------------------------------------
/1:0 /2:0 /3:0 /4:0 /5:0 /6:0
/7:0 /8:20 /9:5 /10:6 /11:9 /12:32
/13:77 /14:207 /15:346 /16:6905 /17:1175 /18:2174

This mean over 57% of the routing table consists of /24s. So in order to
facilitate getting this fixed, I have prepared a list of the worst
offenders and their specific blocks which (most likely) have no reason for
not being aggregated. If all of these entries could be aggregated (and I'm
certain this simple script missed some), it would reduce the routing table
by over 29,000 entries, to less the 78k. I think it's pretty obvious that
a lot of these simply have no excuse.

A list of ASNs with the largest sized offending blocks (not overall count,
#1 is UU #2 is BBN #3 is Telstra nothing unexpected there) is:
2711 - Rock Hill Telephone Company
8112 - Bell Atlantic Internet Solutions
701 - UUNet Technologies, Inc.
11371 - Rhythms NetConnections
226 - Los Nettos
7029 - Alltel Information Services, Inc.
18687 - MGC Communications, Inc.
6595 - DoD Education Activity Network Assistance Center
1677 - ANS Communications
1785 - AppliedTheory Corporation
1326 - Advanced Networks & Services Inc.
6499 - Brooks Fiber Properties, Inc.
I highly encourage anyone interested to yell at these people.
