Please excuse the newbie questions.  Looking thru the BGPv6 table I came 
across some things that I didn't understand:

1) This /16 doesn't appear in whois.6bone.net:

BGP routing table entry for 2002::/16, version 1154
Paths: (1 available, best #1)
   Not advertised to any peer
   559 1930
     3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F from 3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F (130.59.32.38)
       Origin incomplete, localpref 100, valid, external, best

Is this legal?

2) The AS paths are usually short (3-5 hops) but 2 caught my eye:

*> 3FFE:F00::/24    3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F
                                                            0 559 9044 5424 
10318 5623 6939 6939 2042 3836 4618 9264 7660 22388 11537 786 1853 1853 
1853 1853 1853 6680 1103 2602 2200 9112 6830 12702 3549 4697 10566 13944 22 i

*> 3FFE:1F00::/24   3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F
                                                            0 559 9044 5424 
10318 12199 145 4554 278 6435 17715 6939 4716 2500 4697 3320 293 6175 7580 
10566 15180 1251 1916 11537 22 5609 6830 1755 i

Is this normal?

Thanks,
Hank
