Hrm, not quite...

Scroll down, there's a whole pile. Not as much as TimeWarner Telecom, or
WorldCom (aka AS701) but significant nonetheless.

For the graph fiends out there, here's how much the BGP tables have
grown in recent years:

ie. hugely. Yer low-end Cisco no longer copes with full routes from more
than one provider (hell, in some cases even older midrange kit), and the
insistence of the Big Boys towards deaggregation is starting to make
life difficult for smaller networks.

Enough of that, I'm off to pop the top of a nice bottle of wine. TTFN
kids!
