Hi, Could anyone give me a sense how many BGP routes a large ISP typically sees in total? Here by in total, I mean if the RIB of all routers in the ISP were merged, how many distinctive routes would there be? Thanks, Yi

I should have said I'm interested in the merged size of RIB-In (which contains all the raw routes received). I couldn't find information about the number of different routes for the same prefix a (large) AS typically receives/learns. Hints? Yi On Apr 17, 2007, at 7:29 PM, Jeroen Massar

I guess what I see there is the lower bound of the path diversity? Because even though an edge router received more than one path for a prefix, it'll only export the best route to the other edge routers of the ISP. Yi On Apr 17, 2007, at 8:02 PM, Ricardo V. Oliveira wrote: Telnet to
