It's much worse.  At least DFN *has* a full view, but they prefer Geant2
routes, because "NREN stuff needs to go there".

And since I2 seems to be really unwilling to properly sort out their 
routing (properly distinguish between "customers", "peers", and "upstream/
transit", with the proper filters in place to avoid leaking everything
everywhere) this is causing harm again and again.


I have some more of these... Egyptian REN more specifics being leaked by 
I2 all over the place...

...

(19 /48s in total, only visible via 11537)

The really bad thing about that is that the /32 in question seems to have
direct transit via Sprint, which is not used now, since "longest prefix
wins"...
