BGPD, Routing WG, using the historical data I have on the number of BGP entries in Amsterdam1.dante.net (starting 1 January 1994) the trent of the number of entries has been increasing, until a max value was hit of 20400. This was reached on Fri Apr 15 15:00:08 MET DST 1994. From this date on the trent of number of entries was downwards. Until 17683 (reached on Sun May 22 17:00:05 MET DST 1994) it was dropping. In the lastest graph I made, this afternoon, on the number of BGP entries in Amsterdam1.dante.net I see a slow, but steady, increase of entries since some time now.

The directory is surfnet/net-management/ip and the files are called: - nets.gif - nets.ps __ Erik-Jan.
