At the Los Angeles IETF I tried to define the terms "Swamp" and "Toxic
Waste Dump" as follows:
* The Swamp is the 192.0.0.0/8 addres space that is routed.
* Each and every /24 in the Swamp is part of the Toxic Waste Dump (twd).

You might not like/agree/understand the above definitions, but... given
the above definitions the current sizes are:

Size(swamp) = 6549
Size(twd)   = 5555

This data is taken from a default free router that lives in Amsterdam,
The Netherlands which has 40590 prefixes at this moment.

FYI.
