% 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?

	yes. bob pulled the whois record for this delegation last month.

% 2) The AS paths are usually short (3-5 hops) but 2 caught my eye:
% 
% *> 3FFE:F00::/24    3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F
% *> 3FFE:1F00::/24   3FFE:2000:0:41D::22F
% 
% Is this normal?

	Sometimes.  :)
