You obviously didn't look very hard. The answer to the first question
is posted to this very list every Friday:
<http://www.cidr-report.org/as2.0/>
The last two are probably not really knowable with any precision, but
you might find some estimates. Although I'm not really sure what
utility the number is.

What I want to know is roughly how many :
1. ASes there are in the world today?
2. BGP routers there are, for intra-domain as well as inter-domain
routing,
in total in the world?
3. BGP routers do the largest ASes have?
Really interesting would then be to say either how fast the above
numbers
are growing, or to give estimates for what the answers to 1-3 will
be in 5
years time.
An Internet source that provides the above information would be most
useful
- though I can't seem to find it with google.
I'd be grateful for answer to be sent to me directly, whether you
also post
to NANOG is up to you.
thanks in advance.
