Pretty nice. Thanks!
I don't suppose there is any straight text version of all this info is there ?
At the RIPE NCC we are publishing aggregated dumps from our collective
of 12 RIS route collectors every 8 hours. For each prefix we list the
origin AS and the number of peers (on all collectors) which observe the
prefix. If you are happy to do your own post-processing, set your own
boundaries on what to consider limited visibility prefixes, have a look
at the IPv4 and IPv6 table dumps at http://www.ris.ripe.net/dumps/
Note that the fact that not all RIS peers give us a full BGP table blurs
the counts somewhat. Prefixes which are globally visible may (today)
have anywhere between 96 and 110 peers announcing the prefix to the RIS
route collectors.

However, there might be cases where the origin AS might be unaware that some
prefixes are not globally visible (when they should) or that others are leaking as
a consequence of mis-configurations/slips.
