Checking only the beginning of nets for which you receive BGP
announcements fails to take into account the vast numbers of single-homed
networks which are part of large supernets.  i.e. One of FDT's old UUNet
IP blocks was a /20 in 205.228.0.0/14.  There are only a few dozen
announcements for:  sh ip ro 205.228.0.0 255.252.0.0 longer
