This is even a problem for most non-major vendors.
Both at the BGP layer and at the forwarding layer.
I've even heard that some people at major's can't get at that info
because of inter-divisional politics.
CAIDA has produced lots of interesting data though. The problem for
vendors is finding enough to time to read it.
If someone knows of a grad school that has money to do BGP research :-)
