Figure every AS must have at least one BGP router, the vast majority

bound of around 70k and an upper bound around 290k.
How are you certain that there are fewer BGP routers than prefixes?
At all my previous employers we have had more routers than prefixes we
advertised to the global table (which is where you get your 290k
number).
