No, it hits 30% of the *routes*.  I'll make a truly wild guess and say that
those 30% of routes actually only represent 0.3% of the *traffic* for most
providers, and the *only* people who really care are the AS that's doing
the deaggregate...

Eduardo - if you still have the lab setup and netflow/whatever data, is there
any way to tell if any of those 30% routes affected are in any way "high
traffic" sites?
