Apologies if this is too naive to ask but is there some detail available about the items listed in the summary? 1) In particular, what exactly is the difference between the "BGP routing table entries examined (292961)" and "Unique aggregates announced to Internet (145391)"? 2) I believe 292961 is the worst case routing table size for any router. If the unique aggregates announced to the Internet is 145391, how does the routing table size anywhere may exceeds this number? Is the word "Internet" the key here? 3) Is aggregation done at a particular router for (i) reducing the table size in that router, or (ii) reducing the number of announced prefixes by that router, or (iii) both?
