Skimming the paper turns up a key sentence, "Stub networks, on the other hand, do not forward packets for other networks." What part of that led you to think that stub networks forward packets for 1-4 downstream ASNs?

That's where the confusion sets in, and Randy even stated that the UCLA data is suspect; partially because it considers a stub to be 4 or less downstream ASNs. I think Randy's data would be better reflected without the UCLA information which just confuses it.
