This is nice, but what would make it more useful would be if it also
reported if there are *useful* AS_SETS / if the AS_SET means anything.
For example, from Jared's email below:
AS path: 14061 3356 6762 23487 27738 27738 27738 27738 27738 27738
{27738} -- the 27738 AS already shows up as a non-AS_SET in the path.
I've also seen a number of instances where the AS_SET contains many
repeated instances, e.g:
AS path: 6939 3356 42020 39010 {39275 39275 39275 39275 39275 39275
39275 39275 39275 39275} -- this doesn't seem to actually mean
anything...
Looking at the top few AS paths with AS_SETs I see:
28 12127
27 27738
24 11139
17 23383
13 12849
AS12127 - Telefonica Moviles El Salvador S.A. de C.V., SV (these are
all behind AS263783 - Telefonica Moviles El Salvador S.A. de C.V., SV
)
AS27738 - Ecuadortelecom S.A., EC
AS11139 - CWC-ROC-11139 - Cable & Wireless Dominica, DM
AS23383 - METRORED S.A. DE C.V., HN (this also seems to provide
transit to AS267737? (advertising 45.168.172.0/24))
AS12849 HOTNET-IL AMS-IX Admin LAN, IL

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
