Hi Martin,

(related to a recent discussion on RIPE routing-wg ML [0]) 

I was wondering whether HE's bgp toolkit displays announced prefixes only
or 
announced prefixes _AND_ prefix-origin pairs for which ROAs exits.

Example: 186.182.0.0/16
announced according to RIS by one ASN: AS19037 [2] (invalid per RPKI)
bgp.he.net [1] shows two announcements (one valid, one invalid)
rt-bgp [3] shows one orign ASN (AS19037)  (invalid)

The question is: Are both announcements visible to HE (HE just sees more 
announcements than RIS) 
or is the second entry just the display of a ROA (that is not actually 
announced)?

thanks,
nusenu

Actually, it is just one single peer on collector rrc04 (Geneva) which sees 
AS2200 as origin; that's why prefix-overview and routing-history
