DSL providers are becoming very bad about this. Someone pointed out to me
off list that CAIS had carved up PSI's /8 into over 500 /24s.

Well at least we don't have to go too far to find the guilty party. :P

Those are the GlobalCenter datacenters being converted into the Exodus
network. It looks like they are leaking a sizable number of /32s /30s etc,
and since its GBLX space I'm assuming its stuff that used to be aggregated
into a single announcement.
Email sent to: ipadmin@gblx.net, huberman@gblx.net, ip-eng@gblx.net,
scarter@gblx.net, bgp@gblx.net, bp@gblx.net on June 4 - everyone responded
that the problem was forwarded to Exodus and from there it disappeared into
a black hole.
Basically, after having sent out dozens of emails over the past 6 months I
have come to the conclusion that there are a few out there that will fix
things when presented with the problem. But the vast majority either don't
have a clue, don't want to have a clue or couldn't give a damn that the
routing tables are increasing in size.

The one interesting pattern I noticed in the rampant /24 abuse was non-
contiguous announcements. It's likely that this kept them off the CIDR
Report and any other scans which only looked for contiguous announcements.
For example:
1.2.3.0/24
1.2.5.0/24
1.2.7/0.24
