I did a vacuum analyze before I run the following explain 

June_03=# explain select * from tmp where route >>='62.1.1.0/24';
                           QUERY PLAN                           
----------------------------------------------------------------
 Seq Scan on tmp  (cost=0.00..606.60 rows=14544 width=33)
   Filter: (route >>= '62.1.1.0/24'::cidr)
(2 rows)

The select returns just one route,
Thanks
