% 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. :)
