Emil,

You said it twice. You can't find your hat cause it's on your head.

You have a network statement of 167.1.34.4 you have a summary address of
167.1.0.0. 167.1.34.0 is a "component"(subnet) of 167.1.0.0 so the summary
is advertised, as the as you said it should be. Try a summary address of
anything but 167.1 and you should't see it on other routers in the AS.
