The latter, I believe.  One question would be how many different
routing table entries they aggregate into, though -- that I don't
know offhand.  I've got a list of the address ranges but don't have
a raw dump of routing table entries: if Erik and I run into each
other next week, we should be able to get the dumps together and
figure that out..
