So C&W is leaking the prefix to Teleglobe.  OCCAID will need to take that up
with C&W.

8767 (M-net), according to their registered AS object, receives full transit
from 3257, not simply peering:

mp-import:      afi ipv6.unicast  from AS3257  action pref=80; accept ANY
mp-export:      afi ipv6.unicast  to AS3257    announce AS-MNETDE

So, 8767 is downstream of 3257.

Funny, there are a number of IPv6 networks that feel the same way, with a
smaller network and traffic level than OCCAID.  I don't think you or I are
to judge this.  I think OCCAID and the few that are not peering with OCCAID
need to work this out.

If they can't reach OCCAID, which has a very large user base and content,
then yes, they are badly connected.  25%?  Sorry, I think we can both see
there are approximately 33 prefixes that OCCAID does not have in their table
that can be resolved with 2 or 3 additional peers.
