Geoff's data at Potaroo had the FIB clearing 1M back in Febuary if memory

I'm confused by that.

I show 990450 prefixes in my FIB, 990478 in RIB.

Potaroo shows 1022758 prefixes in FIB for today.

Why would there be a discrepancy of over 32k prefixes?

We're blocking exactly 0 prefixes from our three upstreams.

I would understand a hand-waving explanation of "this is the Internet, it's always being updated, and everyone has a different view of it" if the discrepancy were 10^2 or even 10^3. But over 10^5? That's a bit like the three top ASNs for route count just disappeared from the Internet.
