Topic came up on the NANOG list yesterday - apparently the cerf.net public route server was down and someone asked for alternatives. So, for all you BGP fans who want to know how many routes are in the "internet routing table" here are a number of places you can check. Note that there is no one number. it seems to depend upon your point of view. route-server.ip.att.net route-views.oregon-ix.net ner-routes.bbnplanet.net route-server-eu.exodus.net route-server.as5388.net route-server.cerf.net route-server.exodus.net route-server.gblx.net www.traceroute.org this last one is pretty interesting. Might want to bookmark it. Chuck ---------------------- I am Locutus, a CCIE Lab Proctor. Xx_Brain_dumps_xX are futile.
