        as seen from which ASN?  or are they all the same?
        if you don't have a more specific, or a covering prefix
        and are not deluding yourself (aka Sprint circa 1994
        w/ the great 192.0.0.0/3 lie) does NOT mean you have
        a full routing table... it just means you have a covering
        prefix or more specific prefix from each of your peers...
        <voila, the DFZ>  does not mean you have all routes tho.

        as alluded to earlier, "private" networks overtook the
        "Internet" before...  it could happen again.  :)
