I noticed a jump from some 171k to almost 175k in the last days, and checked CIDR http://www.cidr-report.org/:
Top 20 Net Increased Routes per Originating AS
Prefixes Change ASnum AS Description
3263 0->3263 AS4151 USDA-1 - USDA
so I wonder what's wrong with them.

Fredy
they are leaking just about every /24 in several /16's?
ATT worldnet is
passing them on too, perhaps they can smackdown usda?

This looks more like configuration error than like anything more evil
(such as fine-grained traffic engineering).
AS4151, could you please stop this?
Thanks & regards,
I send a message to my transits (Qwest and Global Crossing) and AT&T. Here
is the message
I got back from AT&T.
James,
We're looking into the situation. We'll get back with you shortly.

I am seeing 171K routes from my transits and looks like this has been fixed.
