Revealed: The Internet's Biggest Security Hole

I beg to differ. What will change is a serious uptick in the number of prefixes (279K) in the routing tables as everyone rushes to deaggregate to /24 size. A year ago we were at 230K, how much you wanna bet we don't just add 40K routes over the next 12 months.

if you're only seeing 2k new prefixes a week then everything is normal.

a change in the slope of the curve would be cause for alarm (say 8k a week)
