There are 4,035 routes in the global IPv6 routing table.  This is what one

TATA (AS6453) out of Toronto, Canada  3,747.

For my v4 transit, I only see 0.3% difference from my largest and
smallest view.   Where as with ipv6, the difference is almost 25%.  For
/48 and shorter, I see 757 paths missing from AS174 that I see on my
other 2 v6 transit providers.
