Update to weekly routing analysis summary

[Philip Smith]

Hi Cathy,

Thanks, I had hoped it would be useful. I don't want to be ASN policeman, 
but I thought it would be interesting to look and compare what was being 
announced versus what was actually registered somewhere. I was really 
surprised that there were only 4 ASNs < 64511 being announced.

Now to figure out why ASN 2027 and ASN 5757 are being used on the Internet 
without any registration information in ARIN's database, or indeed, 
anywhere else...

Anyone any ideas, especially Interpacket and UUNET who are respectively 
routing these two ASes? (When I was on the ISP side of the fence we never 
routed anything if it wasn't registered somewhere, but maybe these "rules" 
don't apply anymore...? :)
