That wouldn't constitute a complete answer because there are MANY local ISPs that aggregate under a regional. Also, not all regionals (yes, I've found some exceptions <Qwest?>) use BGP either. Then there is the old route pre-fixing problem. Not many ISPs, smaller than /19, are going to be doing effective ASN's either.

But,most folks lump ISPs and IAPs in the same breath.-----Original Message----- From: Adam Rothschild [mailto:asr () latency net] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 11:09 PM To: Roeland Meyer Cc: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: How many ISPs are out there?
